Pros

great perks and freedom to work, salaries are good compared to the local markets, good multidisciplinary learning, some senior colleagues are really good advisers.

Cons

Bad management style, poor fund planning, not many policies and long term vision in place. No value for people who work for team, and institution. Only one think that is valued is publication irrespective of how you get it. Very poor planning, foresight and communication. Some people continue to use the system for their advantage, and top management pretend they don't see or hear.

Pros

The best thing about working for CIMMYT is the international staff. The multicultural environment is truly wonderful. It is amazing to work with people from around the world with a shared commitment to improving food security. I also enjoy the international travel opportunities and the flexibility to work from my home country. Working in Mexico is made safe by the high security of the Texcoco campus and diplomatic immunity while driving CIMMYT vehicles. Central Mexico has lovely weather and offers a rich cultural experience.

Cons

The experience of workers is extremely dependent on program. The management of some programs is very poor. The turnover rate in upper management is high and the morale of some workers low. The contained Texcoco campus offers security, but little privacy for those that work and live there. Internal politics can be overwhelming, particularly for international workers who feel "trapped" professionally and personally.
