Pros

Even as an intern without a technical/scientific background, I felt welcome as an employee of MIT. I found faculty, staff, and especially students to be pleasant to work with. I gained so much insight into my field (international education) through meaningful hands-on projects and attentive mentors.

Cons

I do not really have any complaints. I just wish I could have worked at MIT for a longer amount of time! The world of academia is tough, as is the competition.

Pros

As a foreign scholar I experienced MIT to be extremely professional handling all issues including visa, health care, etc. Money was enough to survive in Cambridge or Boston without problems. The atmosphere is amazing with lots of talks and visitors from my field and related fields all the time.

Cons

I did not find many cons. It depends on where you work exactly and who your boss is. It's definitely competitive but in a good way.
