Anything but the mission - not independent - Research Staff Member Institute for Defense Analyses Employee Review

IDA leadership and staff remain steadfastly committed to the mission: answering the most challenging U.S. security and science policy questions with objective analysis leveraging extraordinary scientific, technical, and analytic expertise. Staff feedback is important to us as we strive to continually improve. We are concerned and disappointed to hear your thoughts regarding the loyalty to our mission and encourage further dialogue to understand examples and context in an effort to fully address them. We seek to empower all staff to come forward with concerns, and can only work to address them when open conversations take place. For any current employees who may share similar concerns, we urge you to share them with us via one of the many available resources, including but not limited to divisional/directorate leadership and code of conduct reporting (see the IIS). IDA’s uniquely flat structure allows for issues to be addressed quickly and at senior levels within the organization.
