It's what you think - Research Assistant Cato Institute Employee Review

- Structured and well-organized program with substantive assignments (not too much busy work) and policy education seminars - Interesting assignments with policy experts who care very much about their works - Comprehensive access to research resources

- Not necessarily a con, but because of the nature of the organization, the policy analysis is taking a libertarian perspective heavily. Although they don't force them upon you, I also won't expect diverse viewpoints. - Compensation was a $1,000 stipend. Not high but decent for policy roles.

Amazing people and fun environment to learn

They pay at a "prestige level"
