Pros

used to be brilliant, all the wonderful aspects have been cut

Cons

CEO blatantly lies to satisfy whomever is in the room at the moment. Most recently told fibs to Seattle news networks re: company status and role in new clinical trial. Many current staff are looking for other job opportunities. There is literally zero job security here, with investigations into their finances and future ongoing at many levels. They are currently in receivership with several companies, funders and individuals filing claims in the process. It is certainly not the high achieving institute it once was. If you see your future in infectious disease research or global health, do not hitch yourself to this entity no matter your career status. They are also about to be moved out of their current work building. If I could give senior management a 0 rating I would.

Pros

Some of the brightest and most devoted researchers who desire to make positive change in the world.

Cons

IDRI in 2019 is it crisis. Management, fiscal, staffing, multiple issues. In the first third of 2019 IDRI shed more staff than they average in a year. CEO was made to vacate his position, and so went the Finance Officer (and Board member), HR Director (and borad member), long time staff Attorney, long time Communications Director, Governence Officer, etc. etc. and now shining research stars resign every month. One group of TB researchers resign in mass in the spring. Discussion of shutting down labs to pay the bills, encourages more staff to seek an out. For every year in the last five years, the IT dept hires another staff memebr who is bullied and eventually leaves. A flurry of new hires, to replace those who departed in mass, now resigning as IDRI's Operations Management is incompetent. Until this situation is corrected, and it may never be - new hires should consider themselves fodder in IDRI's employment chaos. Half the staff currently looking for a way to leave. I hope operations management wakes up in time.
