Business Outlook

Pros

There are a lot of smart people that help you learn new things. There are other opportunities because IPA is in more than 20 countries

Cons

Too much focus on quantitative details. In my time, every project was identical to the previous one and it got really boring. They charge universities and organisations more than what they pay for your salaries.
