Pros

Engaging topics and smart colleagues.

Cons

Unwelcoming work environment, siloed programs, low tolerance for diverging opinions and dubious ethical boundaries with donors who would like to influence research output. An overly inside-the-beltway view of the world in the DC office despite the name and considerable input from satellite offices around Europe.

Pros

Getting to know colleagues from around the world.

Cons

Poor leadership from the top down is reflected in their struggle for organizational identity. Gossiping and gaslighting are sadly very prevalent.

Pros

Recognized brand in its field

Cons

During my time there, I witnessed frequent bullying of women and junior staff: when reported, response was "life isn't fair." Basic legal employee rights not observed (leave under FMLA; document review period legally required for terminated employees in certain categories). Once witnessed the current president ask how they could make an employee so miserable that they would quit without having to fire them.
