Pros
MIT is very flexible. There is a strong work/life balance. The students are amazing and that's what keeps me here. They strive to make the world a better place. That makes it worth it.
Cons
MIT demands a lot from its staff. It's easy to get burnt out here. In addition to that, annual salary increases don't follow cost of living increases, and aren't guaranteed. It means that new hires typically make more than people that have been working here for years. The pay scale increases disproportionately to cost of living salary increases.
