Pros

A lot of interesting and valuable research comes out of IIASA. The salaries are good. The junior and mid-level staff are generally great people and there is a nice sense of community.

Cons

Some aspects of IIASA are stuck in the 1970s. The organization in shockingly hierarchical, with more junior members of staff often shouted down and prevented from giving their input. The old boy’s network that is made up of (most of) the program directors is very damaging to the institute, as they routinely prevent modernization and serve their own interests rather than the institute's. It also has poor equality policies, and few women in senior positions.
