Pros

The institute does hire some wonderful people who are eager to work hard and move projects forward however they often are unable to due to an unorganized leadership structure that does not care about programs or work being accomplished

Cons

Toxic culture, dismissal of other ideas, lack of leadership, lack of strategy, dismissal of ideas and thoughts, lack of interest in new ideas, lack of personal development or people management, overall dismissal of facts/science, lack of communication, lack of diversity, no understanding of inclusion/justice/progressive ideas. Leadership truly cares about three events a year and chasing money from sponsors and little else including the employees, science/facts or project work.
