Dislikes

Frankly, there is not much to dislike about working in ICAR. If we are nit-picking then -The salary structures between contractual and tenured individuals for similar work profiles is a little disproportionate and do need to be looked into. - The project leads' intense focus on work and research sometimes creates insensitivity towards the lower level workers and their professional obligations.
