Pros

Great team, great mission, and some of the best co-workers I have ever had. My position was ideal with the perfect combination of field and office work.

Cons

I had a term position and was laid off once my term expired. It was evident that my program still wanted/needed me but there was a cap on the number of full time positions the program could have. It will probably be another year or two before the position is advertised again.
