Pros

The people here are the best at what they do, and you get to learn from them every day. The work environment is socially relaxed and informal, if scientifically intense. Opportunities to make professional contacts in the Boston area are excellent, and the institute hosts many interesting seminars.

Cons

There could be more collaboration and communication between groups, especially if they see one another as competitors. This gets in the way of science.

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.
