Business Outlook
Pros
Good scientific program, striving to keep up with cutting edge research. Multi-disciplinary atmosphere with many guest speakers coming to share their knowledge. Sizable budgets for travelling to conferences and for collaborations with other research institutes.
Cons
Must comply with many of Abengoa's rules, which are very strict, and illogical. Unofficial 50-hour work week. Very demanding and not very gratifying. More than 50% of the PhD students have left due to blatant lies during the interview as to their pay and hours. General atmosphere of discontent with the upper management and human resources. Slated to be a research center, but more of a consulting company in many respects.
