Great place to work if you look like upper management

Anonymous employee

Pros

Great benefits and great salary.

Cons

Upper management represents the spectrum of Ivory. If your skin color falls on the spectrum you will get promoted or groomed into a management position. They claim to value diversity, yet only 8% of the staff represents women of color. If you're the "wrong" color you will not be promoted. In fact, you will have a hard time moving around. Many of the managers suffer from discrimination and favoritism. Most have been promoted based on color and network. Many only have a highschool diploma. Regular staff members range from Bacholors degrees to MBA. If you can stomach the toxicity utilize the education program before jumping ship.

Pros

You get to help or work directly on positive, meaningful, earth changing, scientific work. Good benefits, government protections.

Cons

Below average pay. It is a challanging place to advance careers and get promotions unless you are a scientist.
