Pros

IAVI has many knowledgeable people that teach you a lot. The co-workers are great in my lab and I enjoy being able to problem solve with them. The research is amazing and their vision of how to reach an HIV vaccine is great.

Cons

The pay at IAVI is not competitive at all. The management says that a work/life balance is a central point at IAVI but these are just words. They expect each person to do the job of 3 people but then are surprised when their workers burn out before their year anniversary. The health and compensation benefits are not great at all. They want to produce a ton of data from their research and do not care if their employees keep leaving.

Pros

Historically, a noble research mission which has now faded A dedicated staff most of whom have left due to the ongoing funding challenges and frustrations with poor management.

Cons

Very top-heavy organization Chaotic culture as a result of dealing with constant fire drills Ineffective and uninspiring CEO Unsustainable expense model Poor outlook due to funding crisis and deteriorating relationships with key funders Shocking lack of results/success for an organization that has received greater than $1B in funding and has existed for more than 25 years!
