Pros

Nice office. However, spending more money on real estate than staff development/compensation.

Cons

I second the review titled: "Worst place I have ever worked". HR needs to be better. I provided a year-end review of my manager using words such as "inconsiderate", "does not listen to those who are beneath her", "difficult to work under", etc. No follow up. My review disappeared into the thin air and the manager was promoted. Do not join this organization unless you are an MD with prior experience and known respect from the PCORI community at the start, or otherwise be willing to accept low pay and a huge hit to your confidence.

Pros

Kind colleagues, hybrid work (3 days in office), good benefits, and important mission.

Cons

Top heavy -- too many unnecessary talking heads with large salaries rearranging the deck chairs, while more people are needed to do the actual work. Not much autonomy and very bureaucratic.
