Pros

There are many great colleagues at IPS.

Cons

Senior leadership at IPS is a train wreck. It has been for years. They know nothing about operations, finance, human resources, team building, or modern fundraising. What they do is: a) blow smoke, b) blow organizational bubbles. Even long-term funders are backing away.
