Just a kind warning that MIT has some plenty dysfunctional departments as well. I know several people who've had to bail out of there, including myself. HR is not particularly helpful when it comes to necessary interventions with, shall we say, challenging personalities, of which there are many at the 'tute.
Make sure to get a good feel for the vibe of the department that you'd be working in for any position you interview for there, just like you would anywhere else. MIT is awesome, but it has its pockets of suckitude, just like any other workplace.
Don't get me wrong - if you find a good job there, take it for sure - it can be a great place to work. Just be aware that it can also suck really badly, too.
