Pros

Interesting job, international environment, excellent school for children, good (not excellent, though) benefits.

Cons

Career growth for younger scientist is close to impossible unless someone retires or leaves the places. Strongly centralized system, at least in the Global Wheat Program and the management is not used to listen to the staff. No sense of community/team. Too much inside/dirty politics and hatred.
