Thank you so much for your feedback. We really value the perspectives of our former employees. Our facilities and IT staff have been working this past year to upgrade the equipment and quality of conference room services to our employees.
Colleagues are brilliant and you're working on literally saving the world
Cons
Institute management incredibly resistant to change. Literally decades behind on best management practices. And HR actively fought against employee development, promotions, and raises because they would rather have poor morale and high turnover than pay anyone more than the minimum they could get away with.
