Pros

Really interesting and relevant projects. Great access to data. Culture of doing good and meaningful work. Fantastic colleagues and overall fun workplace.

Cons

Working for government clients can sometimes be tedious or frustrating, especially when the client faces other constraints. Additionally, the company lacks sufficient upper management for its size. This leads to many junior staff having insufficient supervision/unreasonable levels of responsibility and also means that the senior researchers are stretched much to thinly across multiple projects.

Pros

- The work is intellectually engaging and gave me many chances to grow technically. - I learned a lot from talented coworkers and appreciated being part of projects with real-world relevance. - There was also good exposure to translating technical work into clear, usable takeaways.

Cons

- The work can be intense and detail-heavy, and deadlines can sometimes feel demanding. - Priorities may shift quickly, which can make it hard to plan ahead. - At times, the volume of revisions and fast pace can be stressful.
