Good fellowship to get foot in the door but pay and benefits are below industry standards

Cdc orise fellow

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to work in federal government settings, networking with potential employers, real world experience

Cons

Pay is at least 30k below industry standard for positions with similar experience, it is a fellowship and so you receive a stipend and not a salary, meaning no long term benefits like 401k
