      Prestigious Position, High stress, Mecca for science/tech geeks - Postdoctoral Associate MIT Employee Review

      Pros

      The best way to complement a PhD in the sciences is with a Postdoc at MIT.

      Cons

      *High-stress alert*, so you better actively plan for some intense de-stressing activities. Also people like to stay indoors and work all the time. But if you like to work and you are super smart (like 98% of the people here), then this place might just feel like home.
