Business outlook
Pros
You learn a ton in this environment, and get to work with inspiring people. It is definitely challenging to get in and perhaps even more challenging to finish the Ph.D. But, if you are grateful/appreciative of being at MIT it is all worth it.
Cons
Some P.I.s can be too busy with their companies, outside involvements (speaking arrangements, book deals, etc.), and departmental responsibilities to have time to properly mentor their graduate students.
