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.
