Federal Reserve Bank of Boston Reviews

Pros

Fantastic people and amazing work life. I worked in the research department for a senior economist ( policy advisor)-he and his research assistant turned out to be my best mentors. They are all very friendly, super smart and yet very humble and funny. It's definitely the best place for students looking to get a graduate degree in economics: a lot of people in their reviews complained about the environment being too "academic "... well that's the whole purpose of working for an economist / in the research department right?? Definitely recommend to anyone who really wants to be exposed to hands-on macroeconomics and policy research-- very unique and sure as hell makes you stand out when you apply anywhere else(exit opportunities are fantastic in the field of economics). Fair warning: you may get too attached emotionally to the work and people here ... happened to me as an intern and thus I was heartbroken to not have an offer for the full time RA position because of my citizenship status (trust me my economist wanted me and was disappointed to know he couldn't hire me either). Overall wonderful wonderful place. My review may be biased because it was my dream to work at the Boston fed, and I surely got to live it, but it's also true that the experience as an intern would forever be my best memory. So much so, that I will take all the memories I have had here with me to my grave. ❤️

Advice to Management
