Pros

The office is cool - very reminiscent of tech start-ups with bright colors, co-working pods, wellness rooms, snack bar, etc. Lunch is usually provided about once per week from events or staff meetings. Good starting salary and good benefits.

Cons

The leadership team is terribly disorganized and treats employees poorly. The CEO is cruel to employees if they catch her on a 'bad day'. Most employees don't make it past 2 years. They don't take accessibility concerns seriously.

Pros

Experience as an employee is very dependent on host program/lab. Org structure supports policy, advocacy, and academic writers. No major top-down limitations which allows for depth of work across program areas (education, technology, benefits, etc).

Cons

Not great support from central comms for crisis communications.
