Pros

Great learning opportunities for early career professionals specializing in biosecurity, research grant management and science diplomacy. Great benefits and flexible work schedule. Salaries are lower than other large government contractors but higher than many non profits in DC. Overall, a very comfortable place to work both for young professionals and individuals with families.

Cons

High turnaround; older senior management slow to change; low mobility

Pros

People are nice and encouraging in general. This is a rare chance for people to gain project management experience, work with the government, learn about NGO cylce, and proposal bidding process. They offer decent benefit as an NGO. There are a lot of people who have stayed here for more than 10 years. Those who use this place as a career development, come and stay for few years at least. The new office in Arlington is clean and spacious. Good meeting space too. If people work hard, they can get promoted.

Cons

The most frustrating part is their limits in looking for diverse funding options. It heavily relies on government contracts and cyclical projects. The type of projects certain team works on can be very limited. While some team build projects others end up doing logistical projects for years.
