Great team and benefits but don't get stuck - Senior Project Coordinator The Broad Institute Employee Review

Pros

The Broad does have a strong culture and values, a lot of people love working there. The benefits and location are great, and there are great opportunities for scientific collaboration and Broadies have a vested interested in maintaining their affinity groups. Depending on the team you join, people stay for as long as 10 years.

Cons

Your experience can vary depending on the platform you join. I joined because I wanted to learn how to be a project manager but I joined the wrong team. The teammates were lovely but the work was atrocious; it was boring and pointless and leadership had no interest in optimization. Some people were overloaded with projects then chastised after asking for more resources. The work is not real project management and it sets up employees for failure if they want to look at new opportunities.

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.
