Pros

None, except for good benefits. Other than that, they exploit you.

Cons

The support staff at MIT are going to unionize soon because of terrible compensation. 80% of support staff make between the minimum and midpoint on the salary scale. The midpoint to maximum don't exist.

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.
