Pros

MIT is an institution of higher education committed to staying at the forefront of what matters in education - producing the research & teaching to solve humanity's problems. If you believe in education, you can believe in working as a part of the MIT machine.

Cons

Sexism, ageism, ableism, and elitism are the dominant driving cultural forces in decision making at MIT. If you are not one of the nimble independent researchers, you are a part of a machine which is quick to hang on "the way it's always been done."
