Pros

At the cutting edge of science. Equipped with nearly any resource you can think of to pursue your research aims. If not, surely someone in the vast Boston academic community will collaborate with you. Excellent benefits and perks. Great support staff (HR, immigration) for navigating the employment process.

Cons

As others have mentioned, a junior researcher can easily get swallowed up at the Broad. The organization's ethos of collaboration can lead one to be over-ambitious and thus over-stretched.

Pros

Work life balance, good co-workers

Cons

Poor leadership. When I first joined they had some solid leaders, but over the years they promoted and hired people with a "closed door" leadership style.
