Pros

Solid pay transparency; guidelines for promotions and salary bands are clearly articulated. Decent office space in a very central location. Plenty of opportunities to write. Nice benefits for the most part, though their retirement match/vesting is stingy.

Cons

Every day in this job was hellish despite my best efforts to make it work. I was drawn to this role in part because of the presence of a union, but the union has not yet ratified a contract after several years—so employees are still at-will and have few protections. There is no way to review your manager without it getting back to you. If I had the chance to review mine, I would say that he was sanctimonious, smarmy, self-absorbed, and a micromanager to a degree I have never before encountered.

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.
