Pros

Located in the middle of Boston, so good location. Good facilities. Lots of opportunities for collaboration with other research labs, both within the university and in the Boston area.

Cons

Bureaucracy is terrible, so everything takes a lot longer to get done than it should. IT infrastructure is lacking. A lot of the buildings are on the older side.

Pros

Great benefits! Lots of sick time holidays off. and summers are very laid back. Wish I could have stayed longer as I saw my time there as a great career opportunity. But toxicity, harassment and layoffs made me rethink staying

Cons

Management is incredibly toxic. Even after union grievances, sexual harassment claims and even a warning from the dean, managers continue to abuse staff. Incredibly sad seeing as Boston University rather lay off good employees than hold anyone from management accountable for their actions.
