Zero Growth. Terrible Managers. Below Average Pay.

Pros

- Very passionate colleagues who care about the work they do

Cons

- Ethically suspect managers who operate with impunity - Few managers are technically incompetent often relying heavily on junior staff to accomplish even straightforward research - Very little to no upward mobility - Below industry-standard pay - Ineffective HR. I don't think to this day a bulk of the organization knows what HR does. - To quote another reviewer, "Some of your 'managers' shouldn't be leading a hamster, let alone people." - Mind-numbing politics at the higher echelons that often interferes with good work being accomplished - Laidback environment. Working with governments has rubbed off, in a bad way.

Pros

Great people at Associate and below level, all with lots of passion for solving important issues. Some individual terrific projects. Important mission.

Cons

Management. Lack of conviction. Title and hierarchy gets in the way of allowing the best people to contribute their best. Ethical breaches seem to slip through if senior level people commit them.

Pros

Great benefits. Everyone believes in what they are doing and there are some interesting projects.

Cons

Lower level staff doesn't have any room to grow so high turnover. If you're also not a heavy researcher not the place for you.
