      Good work life balance, growth gatekeeping - Process Development Technician The Broad Institute Employee Review

      Pros

      Work life balance seems to be good in most lab roles. Hours are flexibly 8:30-4:30. Reasonable amounts of time to get work done and training is thorough. Good benefits (PTO, health insurance, etc.) offsets burden of mediocre pay.

      Cons

      Opportunities for growth (in terms of both responsibility and promotion, ergo pay increase) seem to be gatekept in more advanced lab roles. Unfortunately all roles are important, but not all roles are given equal levels of opportunity for growth.

      Pros

      * Decent health insurance * Lax expectations * Little-no Weekends/Nights

      Cons

      * Management absolutely sucks. Totally inbred, no fresh faces, no external technical or management experience. * Corruption and fraud in usage of gov't funds. Shoveling money into a few people's pockets while claiming high expenses and public benefit. * Terrible pay for lack of purpose - will find greater purpose and pay working for defense contractor. Don't let the non-profit status fool you.
