Massachusetts Institute of Technology Employer Reviews

I enjoyed working at MIT as an administrative assistant in one of the departments. The professors that I supported were nurturing and kind. They placed a high value on training and development so I was able to get a lot of exposure to various areas of the department and their research. They included me in as much as possible to assist me in learning – more... what they did so that I could best support them. I wouldn't hesitate to return to work there. – less

MIT is an excellent workplace. A typical day is very challenging often, productive and collaborative. Learnt a lot of new techniques and new instrument operations. Being a safety office in the lab, I have learnt and been responsible for quite a lot about safety issues in lab environment. Co-workers here are extremely helpful and always looking for collaboration – more... which increases productivity indeed. The hardest part is to live up to the expectations of the huge pharma company collaboration. The most enjoyable part is the challenges that I am faced with everyday. – less

Working top minds in developing strategic solutions for some of the leading ventures in the Boston area!

I was involved in multiple medical research projects. Some of them were very ineresting and thereafter got published in recognized journals.

Offers a reasonably flexible work environment and good benefit package, but few opportunities for career advancement.

MIT is completely different from anything I've ever experienced. I've never worked harder in my life, but I've also never felt more fulfilled.

Several meetings, part development, part writing, moderate to heavy email load. Best part interacting with multi-disciplinary teams.

Filing scholarly journal articles, faxing, copying and mailing documents and maintaining an organized office. I enjoyed working here because the people were helpful and friendly. I enjoyed filing because I sometimes paused to read the abstracts and therefore learned a lot about the research that was being conducted by the principal investigator. I was – more... introduced to the scholarly journal, PNAS. This exposed me to a wonderful resource for scientific research. The hardest part of the job was that is was only temporary; I wish the administrative assistant whom I was filling in for needed a personal assistant! – less
