      I worked in isolation with few guidelines and no overall vision for growth and excellence in software development.

      Pros

      Working in support of genomics research is fulfilling because of its potential in understanding human disease.

      Cons

      Communication of requirements was poor, it was difficult to talk directly to end users who were, in fact, internal to the company. Legacy systems were supported in perpetuity. New systems seemed to be adopted only when consensus was reached, and not selected by a decision maker with a clear vision of system requirements.

      Interesting, challenging work but could be better organizationally.

      Pros

      The intellectual environment is great, very stimulating, regular talks where groups present original research. Facilities are excellent, lots of resources. Very informal, flexible environment.

      Cons

      Lack of clear career paths. Salaries are intentionally set below equivalent industry positions. Working in Kendall Square can either be great if you live close to public transportation, or a nightmare if you have to commute from the suburbs. Interaction between groups could be better. Work can be valued according to how much and where you publish papers, which can be a drawn out, convoluted and political process.
