Pros

MIT has some of the world's best, and most people are extremely self motivated.

Cons

Facilities can be old and a little confusing, but if you know the right people and are associated with enough departments, you can probably find whatever you need. There's definitely a workaholic atmosphere, but I'm not sure any top tier academic institution is going to be any different.
