Business Outlook

Pros

The organization is dedicated to transparent innovation in a difficult domain. In just the 2 years I've been here, the company has grown extraordinarily quickly, which is good because we always have more research questions than humanpower.

Cons

Since we always have more research questions than humanpower, the workload sometimes feels endless, and as a nonprofit, the payscale is below market for New York City.
