Pros

Independence and ability to take a lead role in research even at entry level positions. Interesting projects and great connections with international researchers and leading organizations.

Cons

There is next to no management or support for researchers. There is a lot of pressure from leadership to produce work but no guidance, support or oversight of quality. There is limited internal communication and demands are often made last minute and plans change frequently with little to no notice. The leadership of the organization does not seem to care about staff retention, development, or happiness - morale is low and turnover is extremely high. Pay and benefits at entry level are extremely low compared to similar organizations.

Lots of freedom, poor leadership

Pros

Incredibly important mission, high-quality research and very high-profile leader. Opportunities to be involved with large organizations/government bodies while working for a small think-tank. Total independence working here, including lots of freedom to work remotely. New Delhi office is very small, each researcher working more or less as an independent agent. The work is varied and intellectually stimulating.

Cons

Little to no guidance or management structure. Poor communication between leadership and employees. All decisions made by President, who is overextended and almost completely inaccessible. Project allocations seem random and not based on employee skills or interests, employees can feel totally cut off and forgotten, breeding anxiety and poor morale. Analysts cycle through very quickly, as there is little employee cultivation or room to grow.
