Pros

CIMMYT has a wonderful and regarding mandate, interesting multi-cultural environment, and ability for travel and adventure integrated into many positions

Cons

CIMMYT is stuck in a top-down corporate management style more appropriate to the 1960s (when the organization was founded). There has been so much positive research and examples of modern corporate structures to facilitate collaboration, innovation, and well-being in creative enterprises, none of these seem to be seriously taken up by management. CIMMYT is filled with lots of good people, but they are put into a toxic environment, which twists good people into a dysfunctioning work environment.
