Pros

overall nice colleagues who want to work

Cons

awful management style from the Executive Office under the current CEO H. Conley, lay offs done in dubious ways, disprespect for local labor laws in satellite offices, high voluntary turn over, financial turmoils. It used to be a great organisation with a very good reputation in the USA and especially in Europe - sadly, no more.

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

The people are phenomenal--smart, motivated, kind.

Cons

Hard-driving, fast-paced environment not for the faint of heart. The action side of think tank life.
