Top heavy, lacks diversity

Pros

- It's a unique institution with great potential to cement itself as one of the leading voices on Asia. - Lots of smart and talented staff (unfortunately turnover is very high) - Great location/office on Park Avenue - Very good benefits (health insurance, dental reimbursement, vacation package)

Cons

- Management is top heavy. For instance, the entire EA team is filled with directors! - No diversity, especially in higher management. - Crappy salaries. A mid level employee with a masters + several years of experience can make as little as $45-50K. - It's a non-profit but you wouldn't think so, if you saw how much the top 6-7 highest paid employees make. The top two employees, both make more than $1M/year with bonuses.
