If you get a job somewhere else, take it! - Anonymous employee The Scripps Research Institute Employee Review

The CEO is a horrible. The same day he was announced as president he was outside the institute showing off his new $200,000 BMW super car despite the institutions terrible financial standing. Grants are hard to get because of the insanely high institutional overhead. In fact most refuse to even give grants to Scripps because f the overhead. The compensation is way bellow average and they keep people in positions they are overqualified for so they don't have to pay them more.
