Hi, this is Chelsea in Human Resources at the Broad Institute. I am sorry to hear that you had this experience. We have a lot of reporting tools for employees to ensure we can look into concerns like these in real time. I see you are no longer at the Broad, but I'd be happy to discuss this with you if you'd like to reach out to me at cbodenstab@broadinstitute.org.

Pros

Benefits, such as PTO and health, are fantastic.

Cons

A pro and a con are there are rarely set ways to do things. You can pave your own way, but others could be paving a way to the same destination and just creating more paths when it would be better to work together.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We love that you feel the autonomy to pave your own way here, and recognize that also can present its own challenge with duplicating efforts.
