Pros

My 6+ years at Riverside Research have been the best years so far in my career. I worked a few different positions and always had good, supportive managers who looked out for me and encouraged me to grow as a professional and challenge myself to do great things. Since it's a small company, whenever I needed help on the HR/benefits side, the staff knew me and remembered me, and was able to provide personal, immediate help.

Cons

A general con/disadvantage of working in a contract job with a small company is that sometimes when a contract ends, the company doesn't have a good fit to place you and they have to let you go. That is the nature of the business, though.

Pros

Not for profit company, but still must answer to a Board

Cons

The good managers at high levels have left. Not many left to insulate technical employees from the nonsense and overreach of upper management. It shows in the earnings and litigation history. It's fine for gaining initial experience, but not for long-term.
