      Pros

      Great Human Resources services and benefits; they take very good care of researchers and support staff; wonderful facilities to work in in the Pittsburgh, DC, and Santa Monica offices; intellectually challenging and globally topical substance being worked on and discussed each day.

      Cons

      Death by meeting, death by the internal process vortex of doom, and death by calcification of internal organizational structure (and lack of flexibility between or within internal groups); a cautious fear permeates a significant portion of the service groups which tamps down innovation or real growth; skill sets are encouraged to stagnate; *severe* lack of investment into personnel development and training; there a minimal avenues for advancement.

      Pros

      RAND is full of brilliant minds. Folks of all disciplinary backgrounds come together to work on really interesting projects that matter to policy realms, not just in the US but globally. There's never a lack of interesting projects--it's a candy store, nay, a candy factory for nerds who want to apply their minds to some high profile challenges we face today. Amazing location (SM), by the Santa Monica beach/3rd street Promenade, great weather, flexible work schedule... I can go on and on.

      Cons

      You make your own salary--if you have projects to bill, then work on as many projects as you need. If you don't, then you gotta scramble. It keeps everyone on their toes and is an interesting incentive mechanism, but it could be stressful if you're in a field where money is tight (i.e. non-defense or non-health research areas).
