Pros

The DC office is really nice, people are mostly polite. It's cool to work with people who are well-regarded experts in their fields.

Cons

Within a few months of hire, my entire team turned over, and then only a few months after that the entire team turned over again. Can't speak to other parts of the org, though I know there were multiple layoffs in other departments, but the one I was in was pretty tough. There was also reassurance from the top that positions would not be made redundant and it felt like the layoffs were done in a very hush-hush manner so as not to hurt morale. It would be very difficult for me to recommend anyone works here given my experience.

Pros

Pros The team is incredibly supportive, fostering a collaborative and respectful work environment. Work-life balance is genuinely valued, allowing for flexibility and personal well-being. One of the standout perks is the opportunity to attend and contribute to major policy events, which is both inspiring and professionally enriching.

Cons

Leadership changes have been frequent, which can create uncertainty and disrupt continuity. Compensation is on the lower end compared to industry standards, which may be a concern for long-term financial growth.
