Pros

I love, love, love, my current department! I have been at MIT for almost 6 years and have spent the last ~5 years in this DLC. I feel valued and trusted. There is flexibility to my job that is great for work-life balance. I also love the opportunity to work on institute-wide matters not just within my own department.

Cons

My first year here was sink or swim. I am glad I finally found a department that treats their people with respect.

Pros

High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

Cons

Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
