The Broad Institute Process Development Associate reviews

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.

Hard to move up. There are a lot of people stuck at this level because the senior level positions are filled and they've been around forever. Unless you really stand out, or a position above you is vacated, a promotion is tough to come by. Pay is ok, but definitely could be better.
