Vantaggi
MIT is definitely an amazing organization, but the pay is abysmal. The benefits package was decent, free T passes which was nice as they don't offer paid parking.
Svantaggi
The pay is abysmal. During my interview process, I read a review that said that the MIT pay is "laughable". When I received my offer letter, I literally laughed. I negotiated to a slightly higher salary and figured that I would take it as this job "looks good on a resume". The people look at you as an outsider and I never felt comfortable there. The department that I worked in was very inadequately staffed and the job duties were not divided well, so I wound up doing the majority of the work while my coworkers went to lunch. I specifically asked about growth opportunities within the company during my interview process, and I soon found out that there are no growth or promotion opportunities.
