Pros

It's great to be around smart people, and of course very prestigious. And it's unlikely to ever have financial difficulties. Even in the worst of the 2008 downturn, when there was talk of belt-tightening, it was still fine. But mostly, come to MIT because you'll like whatever you'll be working on.

Cons

Some of the administration and departmental politics can be very difficult, and some personalities can be intense. Never forget it's a $3B/yr company at the top of it's game (even if it's non-profit), and it probably doesn't actually care about you, personally. Remember Aaron Swartz?
