      Pros

      The people are amazing to be around. There are many interesting projects happening all around campus. Everyone is very open to sharing their expertise and ideas with you. You have access to some of the greatest leaders in their fields. There are constantly opportunities to meet new people, network, and join interesting projects. As a research developer the job varies day to day and is very challenging and dynamic. Things never get boring.

      Cons

      The location, there is not enough green space for taking a breather. The food options on campus are not very ideal or healthy.

      MIT Lincoln Laboratory is a friendly, academic environment in which many thrive

      Pros

      There is so much to be done in the defense industry that the Laboratory has a wide array of projects and activities. Because these are problems that no one else has solved, you often have to start from the bottom up, which provides you with a great learning opportunity. Everyone is friendly and supportive and openly shares their knowledge and skills. The environment is very laid back, but the work is still challenging. Also, because of the nature of the business, projects are always rotating, which allows employees to tackle on a huge range of problems in their time there.

      Cons

      I honestly have very few complaints about MIT Lincoln Laboratory. It was a great place for me to work, but it may not be for everyone. If you thrive on the corporate competitiveness, you may not thrive at the Laboratory; it is a semi-academic environment that relies in shared knowledge and cooperation instead of competition. The salaries are fair and the benefits are amazing, but they may not pay quite as much as the private sector; this doesn't seem to be an issue for many people who find the benefits and flexibility to be more important than the exact pay.

      Pros

      its a great research institutation. i feel like i'm pat of a team, but I get to work alone, all by myself with my brilliance. (haha). the reseach you do is based on quality, not quantity. (unlike some other forums.) FYI: ction is about getting grounded in AI by reading. It points at the most important journals and has some tips on how to read. is about becoming a member of the AI community: getting connected to a network of people who will keep you up to date on what's happening and what you need to read. is about learning about fields

      Cons

      graduate stuents all over are super poor.
