Business Outlook

Pros

A world class cancer research facility with leading edge technologies. Great people, and very good work /life balance. Middle management does try to meet the expectations of the extremely diverse workforce.

Cons

Excessive political correctness, one must be very careful during casual conversations not to say anything that might be taken in the wrong context. In some cases, departmental meetings are not well structured, no process check, items brought up not on agenda.and outside the scope of the meeting. When assigned to work on special projects, very seldom were clear objectives set with defined dates for specific milestones. Projects tended to be open ended.

Pros

Onsite fitness center where you can work out during the weekend and on Saturdays. Shuttle buses that run between building on campus.

Cons

Work life balance is not as it seems, would recommend a revision. Management needs to realize employees have lives outside of the institution. Parking fees are not good.
