Pros

High level colleagues, prestigious, impressive infrastructural support. If you've got the talent, then the sky is the limit. Some commuter perks help reduce costs (small $).

Cons

This varies from individual department and boss, but MIT is not the most nurturing environment. People expect you to work all the time, and it is a high stress place.
