Pros

More laid back than your average corporate environment and the benefits are great. There are definitely some great people that work here.

Cons

The salary is going to be a lot lower than what you'd make at any corporate place in the area and they're not big on promoting people. A lot of people seem to leave MIT in order to advance their careers.
