Pros

MIT is a wonderful place to work in many ways - good people,many opportunities to grow as an employee AND as a person.Very generous with vacation time and holidays. Good dental and medical options.401k matching (just a little,but it helps and is appreciated)

Cons

The real bugaboo at MIT is their pay scale. It's low, bordering on taking a step backward in one's salary history.
