Pros

Amazing science and brilliant minds. General sense that you're contributing to something great.

Cons

Personal experiences at Broad are solely determined by which group you're working in. Has grown very large and feels very corporate and cold. Attempts to promote employee culture feel disingenuous and forced. There are zero development opportunities for employees in administration. If you don't have a PhD, you are treated like a second-class citizen. Poor performers are allowed to skate by and are never dealt with while strong performers are forced to pick up the slack - which leads to high turnover in important roles.

Pros

Amazing science takes place at the Broad, no doubt about that. The bolder your idea, the better. Great place for trainees.

Cons

Very controlling of information. Layoffs are frequent and without warning. It brings in tons of money and then eliminates important roles. Why?
