Pros: The health insurance for employees at Chan Research is really good, covers a lot of things. We also get a decent 401k match, which helps for retirement planning. For a mid-sized research firm, the overall benefits package isn't too bad.
Cons: Salaries for Research Scientist roles are just average for Boston, MA, especially compared to big pharma. Don't expect huge bonuses or crazy stock options here. There's not much room for quick salary bumps unless you get promoted.
Advice to Management: Look into increasing base salaries for key research roles to stay competitive with other Boston-area biotech companies. It would really help with employee retention.
