Pros

Executive leadership is outstanding. They are supportive, direct, and are clearly trying to make improvements to the organization. Staff are very bright and professional. Business development team is helpful and supportive as are most of the infrastructure units (Contracts, Legal, IT).

Cons

Very few cons, but infrastructure teams are understaffed. Secondly, some of the program units are so focused on their individual projects that they are not interested in following procedures or collaborating with peers. More on that in "Advice for Management"
