Pros

Get your name on some papers and play with nice toys while generally being pretty well treated in a biotech field.

Cons

No upwards career movement within the institute, useful for a launching point but dont expect to go anywhere within.

Hi, this is Chelsea from Human Resources. Thanks for providing your feedback. Career progression is a focal point for our HR team and we are working to make more resources available to Broadies. In addition to offering career coaching and a program designed to help our people navigate their career (Empowering Your Career course), we continue to work with partners across Broad to reduce barriers to internal career growth by helping Broadies meet one another and learn about career roles through mentorship and soon, shadowing experiences. Reach out to me at cbodenstab@broadinstitute.org and I can connect you with our Learning & Development team.

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.
