Pros
Interesting location, decent benefits, nice colleagues
Cons
Wow, where to begin? CIDR is in a sad state. They are loosing really good, smart, conscientious employees because people are not rewarded for their hard work. Not only in monetary terms, but in everyday, hey your doing a great job terms. Morale is below miserable and no one really seems to care, which makes morale even worse. The upper management gets paid VERY generously, while the folks lower on the food chain get their crumbs. The scientists seems to be oblivious, or they are in denial or they just don't plain care that their place of work is on a down hill slope. The energy of the place is like walking into an empty room, boring and stale. I've had colleagues from other scientific institutes ask what is going on, because they have heard it isn't good.
