Fantastic mission, horrendous execution

Pros

Contributing to a great mission, unprecedented impact in the field of ecology, really cool toys to play with.

Cons

Management. The project was ill-conceived from the start. Nothing is staffed properly, no one gets the attention they need from management, and there are multiple people who are completely ineffective in positions of leadership. Worst of all, there is zero accountability. We get paid no matter how bad a job we do. We are just 'checking the boxes'.
