Pros

Great people, laidback, no micromanagers, passionate ppl, professional development possibilities

Cons

Salary is very low for the Washington DC Metro region and there is very little room for negotiation. You can ask for a spot bonus but they may say no. Once you are in, to move up "get promoted" you will most likely need to leave the department you are in and HR is only allowed to give you a 10% increase in your salary.

Pros

I was able to take on multiple responsibilities, like research and volunteer engagement, with consideration of my time and workload from school.

Cons

At times, I felt like my work wasn’t as important or could’ve been done by my supervisors, especially when projects were close to completion, they would be altered but I understand it was for time efficiency.
