Good Job
Jun 5, 2023 - Cancer Information Specialist in Seattle, WARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Liked the job, the work was fulfilling, and Fred Hutch is cool
Cons
The management in the contact center is a bit... old school. VERY top-down, lots of people judging your work who don't do the work themselves and forgot what it's like to do the work.

I only stayed to get a publication because it wasn't a worthwhile enough job to stay long term.
Mar 11, 2023 - Research Scientist in Seattle, WARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The work is interesting and pretty innovative.
Cons
If you don't have a PhD as a scientist, no one will ever listen to your suggestions. Everyone below PIs are chronically overworked, underpaid, under-appreciated, and are in desperate need of unionization which will never happen because Fred Hutch has a long history of intense and harsh union busting. During COVID they laid off their entire philanthropy department and then had the nerve to send out an email to the remaining employees asking the rest of us to consider donating money to those who were just laid off. Their diversity department is just for publicity and are constantly stopped from being effective. The Hutch hiring managers have dismissed great candidates, all non-Caucasian, because they "might not fit in with the culture". There are antiquated octogenarians who refuse to retire and instead perpetuate their ridiculous and toxic expectations. Their great reputation is gained off of the backs of the underpaid. Take a look at their board of directors and count how many diverse candidates there are. Lower staff are constantly thwarted from promotion and reasonable pay by a concerted effort of the upper management. They call what would normally be called the cost of living raise (3%) a merit raise. This way they're able to deny employees even this. If you're going to work in this field in this area, make sure your employee is the UW. They're unionized.

Possibility of flexible hours, however pay is below industry standard
May 25, 2023 - Research Scientist in Seattle, WARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Depending on which lab you work, it can be flexible or you work like a dog. I was lucky to work in a very a flexible schedule.
Cons
Pay is kind of below industry standard. No bonus and only minimal pay raise a year that is hard to keep up with inflation. No room for career advancement, pretty much it is a terminal position
- Former Employee★★★★★

I have not experienced anything negative
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros

Supportive Community and Management
Mar 6, 2023 - Patient Access Coordinator I in Seattle, WARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
What I have come to love about Fred Hutch is the lasting impression it has made on my professional trajectory. Working as a grad student, my department helped me craft an internship that flexed with my schedule and allowed me to get experience in my areas of interest. I also have worked under the best supervisors of my career who demonstrate consistent interest in my experience in the role, how to help make it more efficient, and how to help me work towards my goals.
Cons
Bureaucratic feel that makes it difficult to communicate and departments feel siloed.
