      People doing A LOT with very little

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Passionate people across the org wanting to make a difference in the world. Budgets were tight which is typical for non-profit, but expectations were high.

      Cons

      Many scientists seemed to vilify the admin people who worked tirelessly to help make the science happen. They did not often see that working as a team is what made dreams come true.
