      Good, but they think that they're better than they are. - Anonymous employee MIT Employee Review

      Pros

      There's a lot of pride in the community at MIT, and a lot of freedom as well.

      Cons

      Leadership tends to be "pale, male, and stale." While there are opportunities for advancement, these usually don't come with adequate salary increases. It's one of MIT's worst kept secrets that you can only reasonably expect 1-3% annual raises, despite quality of the work done and increased job responsibilities; and worse, most promotions only generate a 10% increase in pay.

      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.
