Poor leadership, poor management, poor strategy.

The CSIR is intended to bridge academic and private sectors. It has failed in this goal. It is unable to retain or rectuit talent since it pays far below market related salaries, it does not have the capacity to support research or innovation and is heavily loaded with beuracracy in an effort to limit corruption. This results in a scientific institute that has very few scientists, an innovator that cannot engage with business and a bloated institution that lives off of government research grants without delivering much. It's a good place to get involved with the sciences and finish a master's or a PhD but a poor place to work if your desire is to persue research or have real world impact.

Pros: Great opportunities for students
Cons: Very poor opportunities for professionals.
