Good mission, but operations is challenging

Business outlook

Pros

CIMMYT focuses on admirable projects and goals. Staff are often very mission oriented, and working there because they believe in the cause. People really care.

Cons

It's easy to find a lot of time spent on general operations to try to comply with internal procedures and get follow-through from support units. People are well-meaning, but people also feel there's a "blame" culture (i.e., people are afraid to take responsibility for issues because of concerns about fallout by owning a problem). Also, most staff have too many responsibilities, and are constantly hurried.
