Pros

1) People: The students, staff and faculty members are some of the smartest people on this earth. This makes working at MIT a truly enriching experience of a lifetime. 2) Collaboration: Continuing with the people theme, research and learning is collaborative in nature at MIT. Exchanging ideas with peers is the most efficient way of learning according to me. 3) Location: Cambridge, MA is a very lively and fun town with a lot of young working professionals and students.

Cons

Working at MIT can get very stressful sometimes. Knowing that there are resources for help and having a good social circle and help navigate through such tough phases though.
