Pros

I worked in the sequencing group for a looong time, starting in 2002 towards the tail end of the human genome project. It was a very exciting, enjoyable time. We went through several technological revolutions over that time, so the challenges were unique and varied. It was fun to get to constantly learn new things. The people were excellent and it was a great culture.

Cons

The institute as a whole has grown 20x in size since I joined, as such it has become far more corporate in recent years. There's been a high rate of turnover at the highest levels and some of it wasn't done in the most friendly way.

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.
