New York, NY

Current Employee – been working at Memorial Sloan-Kettering

ProsSalary and Benefits are biggest cons. In my understanding they are better than in some similar insitutions in New York City.

ConsMy personal supervision is poor. How positive or negative your experience in any lab is is highly dependant on your Lab Head. My personal experience is mixed, while I see much better examples around me within the institute.

Advice to Senior ManagementSome managers need additional training.
