Pros

Great benefits, some excellent co-workers, organization cares about making a positive contribution to education

Cons

Those who have been with the organization a long time tend to have been promoted - and are not going to leave. So if you don't start higher up, there's no room for growth. Professional development doesn't happen. If you aren't in NYO, it's not easy to transition to a new role (unless you are IT and in Reston).

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
