      Lab tech at MIT - Technical Assistant MIT Employee Review

      Pros

      MIT is a great place to work; people are all around top-notch, work hard mentality but also a lot of freedom. We get a lot of vacation, and I even get $5,000+ a year to spend on tuition which I use at Harvard Extension School. I also took a bioengineering class through MIT's Advanced Study Program for free. There's always some sort of education/social event going on (free food!). They also subsidize your T pass over 50%, so my commute costs me only $35/month.

      Cons

      Only thing is that the pay is pretty low. Other than that I can't think of any cons.

      Pros

      High quality core facilities and well resourced labs. Countless brilliant colleagues who can serve as mentors and collaborators

      Cons

      Students and Postdocs are expensive due to high overhead, so unreasonably high productivity is often expected compared to other institutions. PIs are typically stretched very thin. Most departments/labs are very space limited which makes it harder to do safe and productive research.
