Pros

The innovation that surrounds MIT was really neat to work around.

Cons

The salary was very low, not really a living wage (55k) for Cambridge. The culture was WAY off. We tried making suggestions to management and they did not care since their pockets were lined. There was zero growth, not salary growth, not title growth, not responsibility growth.

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.
