      Fantastic mission; horrendously mismanaged

      Pros

      The mission and goals of the organization are truly outstanding. The science that the AACR represents is truly cutting edge and the best in the cancer field.

      Cons

      The organization is run like a totalitarian regime by a CEO that long ago should have stepped aside. She rules everything, including the board of directors, by fear and intimidation and by surrounding herself with "yes" men/women rather than talented people who can objectively provide input into how to make the organization better. EVERYTHING must appear as though it comes from the CEO's office, and this creates a massive backlog in everything that needs to be done. And then blame for not achieving project milestones is often sent back on the staff person who was simply waiting for their work to clear the CEO bottleneck. I cannot agree more with the other reviewer who said that the CEO treats the organization like her "own personal vanity project." The goal of nearly every piece of output is to make her look good. Her approach to technology is stuck in the (mid) 20th century (the AACR just got a blog launched last year, and it's posts are mostly puff pieces about how great they are). I could go on, but I think you get the point...
