Great benefits, culture leaves something to be desired

Pros

Overall good work/life balance (excluding the WFH policy), supportive and smart colleagues, excellent benefits & perks.

Cons

It's not a bad place to work, but over time the lack of career advancement, blatant favoritism, and division between scientific and administrative staff wears on you. There is almost no WFH flexibility, which leaves staff feeling untrusted and micromanaged. One's experience seems to be based a lot on who you know or who your manager is.

Pros

It's really nice to go to work at a place where important work is getting done Professional development is prized and strongly supported Life / work balance is highly respected The life of the mind here is fantastic (lectures, very smart people, exposure to all kinds of knowledge and experience) I mean, really, we support and do some amazing work and learning about it all never stops being fascinating Lots of institutional support for improvement and growth Great benefits and perks (like matching contributions to 501(c)3s, which is amazing!)

Cons

There are a lot of meetings Sometimes, the Foundation grows faster than its infrastructure
