-The mandate is always expanding, but human resources are closely capped. Always asked to do more with less.
-Happiness here really depends on your team. A few teams are really well-managed, and those folks are very happy. But that's the minority.
-Really top-heavy structure that focuses on bringing in top talent at the top but does not work to grow their people from within.
-Many technical experts put into management positions that are not in their skill set.
-Tendency to gloss over the root causes of staff dissatisfaction by having more "team-building" and parties, but not fixing fundamental flaws.
-Program assistant and contract staff are often treated wretchedly. We hire all these bright, enthusiastic kids in their early 20s with MAs already who think being a PA is a foot in the door here, but it isn't, and then they are so unhappy in assistant roles.
