Nice work environment, though a bit exploitative of young workers

Program assistant

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Really friendly, collegial environment, lots of people very interested in research and ideas, overall pleasant place to work

Cons

I think they may have increased salaries after I left, but when I was there the model seemed to be to take in smart college grads who were interested in research and pay them almost nothing, knowing that most people were going to leave after a few years for grad school. The work itself varied a lot by program, some was more substantive and some was more administrative/menial. Overall felt a bit exploitative of young people eager to find an academic-y job right out of college

Great place to work

Program assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

This is a great place for a young professional to gain new skills and early-career exposure to academia/higher ed/research, especially if you get a program director who is willing to show you the ropes. Loved the monthly wine & cheese events.

Cons

Very hard to progress (re: salary / title) without a Master's degree; can sometimes feel overly-bureaucratic
