Pros

-Most of the employees are dedicated to the mission and are genuinely nice -Nice building -well-funded...for the time being -pretty good benefits

Cons

-Very little opportunity to move up in position beyond a certain level -Low pay and very low annual increases -Senior managers do not want to invest in lower level employees because of high turnover (catch-22) -Little consistency across departments with quality of management -Science-only focus limits the organization's potential -Relies on a few very big grants that could dry up -Complaints to HR seldom result in action -Many interns with Masters degrees and managers with only Bachelors

Transparent, and open management, excellent benefits, top nut employees
