Vantaggi
WRI was my dream destination post-graduating from university. The cutting edge place at the intersection between environmental and development issues. Staff are very bright, international and progressive, senior management is accessible and willing to listen to ideas if you are bold enough to reach out to them. Programs are very diverse and WRI's reputation is solid in the field. Always consistently trying to improve itself. esp now with the new strategic refresh initiatives from the new president.
Svantaggi
Staff tend to focus too much on fundraising. Need a new and more flexible funding mechanism. Due to project-specific funding, it is very difficult for staff to change projects or to work outside a narrow field of specialty. Silo-ed organization. Little interaction between programs and projects Staff turnover extremely high
