Pros

prestige, opportunities. they say being at MIT is like working in a glass box, because everyone wants to know what you're doing! there is also a level of access to resources that is breathtaking-- professors can get funding for individual classes, there's great food at almost every event, you will never want for journal access, etc, and the technical resourses are equally amazing!

Cons

it's extraordinarily stressful. you have almost no time off in a research position; it's expected that you'll work every moment of every day.
