      Pros

      I work in a well funded research entity at the Institute, so I have good support and resources to perform my job. I also have a good, trusting supervisor who gives me the freedom to do my job well.

      Cons

      I have spoken with designers in other areas of the Institute who work on really tight budgets with micro managing bosses, so there are definitely less desirable design jobs around. Also, from a pure creative perspective, graphic design work in academia, especially STEM fields can be a challenging dialogue with clients i.e. professors/academics. It can be difficult to get a scientist or engineer to see past the precise accuracy to their work to allow for something artistic or abstract to be designed.

      Pros

      your colleagues and students are stimulating and brilliant. you are surrounded by the best and brightest, and the facilities are the best in the world. it is truly one of the most inspiring learning and teaching environments.

      Cons

      while the environment is inspiring, it is also extremely harsh. misogyny, racism, and the old boy's network are the rule. teaching is not prioritized. further, if you spend too much time in the classroom you make the tenured professors look bad and are ostracized by the faculty. while MIT is a place for new academic ideas old bureaucracy reigns and fresh air is rarely allowed inside... unless of course it is already vetted, male, conforming air, and then it is welcomed with wine and cheese.
