Pros

Wonderful, passionate people and important research coming out of the institute

Cons

ELT is reactive with no real idea of how to run the org and good luck if you aren’t in their inner circle. Egos are huge and communication is terrible. Love to throw others under the bus…but that might be an industry thing. The Broad Should not be in the software business but should stick to straight bio

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.
