Pros

MIT is very decentralized so it bears saying that my experience may be very different from others. Pros in my area are good work life balance, good benefits, and feeling like you are making a difference.

Cons

For a university that produces state of the art research, the administration is behind the times. I think that MIT could do more to become a innovative in it's administration. It is also difficult to find a good career path within the Institute.
