Pros

Most junior and mid-level staff is highly qualified and passionate. Excellent travel opportunities. Dependent on Center leadership, good work/life balance. Excellent fodder for the dinner table on how mediocre white men are promoted in a patriarchal system. First-hand observances of how capitalism fosters inequity. You will understand inside jokes on shows like Succession and Billions.

Cons

Regardless of the facts or data, leadership at MI truly excels in sticking to whatever narrative they chose and believe in. Nepotism is rampant. Toxic people are rewarded based on looks and presentation, and rise to the top of the organization. New and creative thinking is disregarded. The ideas coming out of this "think tank" are old.
