Positive OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Henry M. Jackson Foundation full-time for more than 4 years
Pros
Great Learning Experiences. Steady promotion scaling. Great Benefits, and 403(b) contributions.
Cons
Lack of salary transparency. Poor headquarter organization. Low wages. Job promotion rigidity promotes complacency.
Advice to Management
Retain strong talent by improving pay bands to reflect the current job market. DC area is an expensive place to live, and the current salaries are not sustainable long term. Remove stringency on promotion levels to make an atmosphere that attracts work ethic.

Pros
Organization is highly connected to the military. The workspace environment in North Bethesda is beautiful. Sun-lit office space, free and easy parking, and a great lunch room.
Cons
Contract work is dependent on government funding, so employment is "at-will." No room for growth or advancement. HJF is okay, but working with and/or interacting with USU is a pretty bad experience because USU is so highly bureaucratic and the faculty at USU do not get along with each other very well.
Advice to Management
Need to provide more training opportunities and paths to career advancement for postdoctoral fellows.
