Pros

MIT is certainly a world-class institution. For employees, there are many supports and opportunities available.

Cons

There are many logistical and operational services that are not in-sync for the admins to be able to plan events and other job-related tasks effectively. It takes several iterations/ years to get a good handle on this . For MIT to be as high-stress as it is, there needs to be more mental health supports for employees.

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.
