Pros

Strong culture of collaboration. Good benefits. Amazing building and really great atmosphere to go to work to every morning. The proximity to MIT and the connections to other major hospitals bring in an air of privilege and importance of the work -- helps with motivation on a bad day.

Cons

Somewhat weak administration. Recent high-level turnover and a series of questionable financial decisions. Funding is largely based on private philanthropy and federal grants, so jobs seem to come and go with the general economic climate.

Pros

I am constantly challenged to learn new things - both techniques in software engineering and cutting-edge genomic science. Management treats me like a grown-up, trusting me to do what needs to be done without micromanaging, yet is clear in stating requirements. Genomics is one of knowledge's frontiers in our time. I consider it a privilege to participate in the adventure of exploring this new frontier.

Cons

The human resources department at The Broad never fails to disappoint me by their callous and short-sighted treatment of uniquely talented and essentially irreplaceable colleagues.
