Pros

If your job allows it than the work/life balance is great. Just having the option to work from home some days is great. The culture of The Broad reminds me of a start-up. They really promote career growth and there are so many opportunities to work on your development. The benefits are great, I love having the one week off between xmas and new years.

Cons

I would say the only downside to working at the Broad is working around the science can be difficult and isolating at times if you don't understand it.

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.
