Pros: They're pretty flexible if you need to adjust your start/end times sometimes. As a Lab Technician, I appreciate that even with onsite work, 40-hour weeks are mostly the norm here in the Cambridge, MA office.
Cons: There are definitely periods of intense biotech research deadlines where long hours are expected. It's tough to maintain that work-life balance when projects heat up, and WFH isn't really an option for lab operations.
Advice to Management: Try to forecast project loads better to avoid those last-minute, very long work weeks. It really impacts team morale and burnout.
