      A mix of pros and cons, just a matter if you can handle it

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible hours for the most part; Intelligent employees who often give more than 100%; For the most part, clear expectation and goals for project success.

      Cons

      Need to always have a high utilization rate, billed to a client, so less time for training. If no contract to work on, likely to get laid off quickly. Also hard for managers to terminate people so need to deal with non-performers longer than necessary. Need to document everything. Writing process for business development proposals are inefficient and brutal. Work life balance is out the window at that time. Health care options are mediocre.

      Overall a good company, but very underpaid and with difficulty to grow

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people are generally really nice and there are a lot of opportunities to learn about interesting industries and policy problems. It is, in some ways, a nice way to start a career - be it at the Research Assistant or Analyst Level.

      Cons

      Raises are tiny. Most importantly, I never felt that - even for a second - the quality of my performance had any bearing on my raise. That was the biggest factor in my eventual departure. The raises for junior-level staff were ultimately decided by people who had no direct visibility into my work, and I saw no signs that they recognized it. My immediate managers were both outstanding, but ultimately were not able to fight for me.
