Pros
I work in Broad's Genomics Platform, which is run a little more like a business than the rest of Broad's nonprofit research-based work. Great benefits, better people.
Cons
Higher ups demand efficiency and productivity, which is fine, except the ways the ask for it to be reported are often time-consuming and innefficient, leading to decreasedd production. An unwillingness to invest in talented, experienced workers. You can give 100% for years and they'll keep dangling the carrot that is a promotion/raise above your head, saying that if you really want it, you'd prove it by working harder, as if you hadn't been doing that already. Short-sighted vision from management. Not many avenues for advancement without a science background. Promotions are often based on obedience and flattery, rather than merit.
