What is the salary like at The Broad Institute?

There are a ton of learning opportunities and services to help you in your science career as well as with research

No competitive salary pay and no structure around it

Good working environment, good pay.

difficult to be a full time employee if you start as temporary.

You're working at a nonprofit, biomedical, research institute between all of the top academic institutions and hospitals in the greater Boston area. Pay is more competitive than standard nonprofits and academia and benefits are quite good.

Could make 3x more at a pharma or biotech, leadership changes cause turbulence often, long working hours

Great people, great mission, amazing work life balance

Pay is good for a non profit but it is lower than the standard range in industry.

Great benefits along with pay

Pay is less than usual but good for a non-profit

lots of pto flexibility good work culture amazing benefits

you may be stuck in a position where there is not much growth for you in terms of promotions and pay raises

The benefits were great. Good health insurance. My coworkers (excluding most of management) were also wonderful.

The pay wasn't great. Many of our peers working as RAs in other buildings had it worse though, so they attempted to organize. The Broad's management responded to this with blatant union busting tactics, including holding "not mandatory, but highly recommended" meetings where higher-ups showed us PowerPoints that had been designed by a third party (they would not give details about the company that designed these PowerPoints). Presumably the Broad paid a union busting company to make it and train supervisors/management during a four hour long closed meeting held shortly after the union went public. These PowerPoints had a clear objective—dissuading techs from signing their cards—and they towed the line of what was even legal. The Broad Institute states on its Mission page, "We believe every Broadie — everyone who works in the Broad community... is an important part of our scientific mission." If they truly believed this, they would pay their researchers fairly. They would not engage in such obvious anti-worker tactics. They would treat the people doing the legwork for their groundbreaking science like human beings.

Good environment to work in

Low pay compared to other industry

Great leadership Great 401k match Great Insurance and other benefits

Salary in Academia does not match industry standards in general and while the Broad is better than other places, it’s still academic salary ranges

None, terrible work place. Very low pay for cambridge. Constant turnover.

Very low pay, unliveable for cambridge. Costant turnover because they expect everyone to dip out after a few years for more phd or medschool
