Pros

Access to experts, cutting-edge research, and exciting programs. I admire President Reif's leadership.

Cons

Salaries at universities tend to be a bit low compared to other employers, and there are systemic gender and race issues in any such institutions (to be fair, MIT does seem to be trying to address these).

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.
