Pros

Interesting, intellectually stimulating work. Deep expertise and experience amongst research staff, and opportunities to learn extensively about important defense issues. Flexibility to choose projects that interest you. Solid work-life balance.

Cons

Lack of a well-defined long-term career path for Research Associates can limit RA tenure. Could likely benefit from some more formal mentorship opportunities. Less cutting edge than some private sector organizations in the field.
