Pros

Plenty of pros: caring teammates; important work; good perks.

Cons

Career growth path is long-winded and obscure and depends on the division you're in. It needs to be transparent across the company.

IDA is a great place to work!

Pros

You get to work with a group of smart, dedicated people on interesting and important problems in national security

Cons

IDA has a reasonably flat organizational structure, so there are very few opportunities for advancement in job title. But there are plenty of ways to distinguish yourself and advance professionally.
