Pros

Incredible collaborative staff coupled with excellent policy and government resources make RAND a great place to work. Well funded and financed, resources were always sufficient for project work. Terrific in-house technology and publishing departments.

Cons

Toxic work environment at times. Politics among supervisors and across internal departments contribute to often 'he said she said' scenarios. Difficult to cut through all the red tape.
