Really nice people, smart, focused and aligned with the mission. Tenure at the Institute is between 5-40 years which shows great employee legacy.

Bad management of contracts and projects. Contract renewal was a painful process. It's not employee-friendly, especially for internationals. Avoid working in institutes hosting corporate culture (California tech culture) in academia. SI's main building mostly hosts management and HR people. Most of the scientists work remotely. The whole organization is run by donations and funds from philanthropists. No annual raise.
