Pros

Great benefits, coworkers are driven, MIT itself is a great organization

Cons

The workload does not match the pay. The years of experience required to essentially be an assistant is unrealistic. The workload balance in the Office of Philanthropic Partnerships specifically is not great and quickly became a toxic environment.
