Pros
Great benefits: federal holidays off, insurance, retirement fund, etc.
Cons
None. I've had a great experience here so far.
Pros
Company has a good system in place for coordinating with researchers and labs. Human Resources and other administrative offices are easily accessible and very friendly. Overly a very positive experience.
Cons
Research labs are at different location than HJF home office. Can be inconvenient for coordination purposes.

Neutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Henry M. Jackson Foundation full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Had a wide range of work, was difficult to get bored. Small team meant you knew everyone you worked directly with.
Cons
paid time off was minimal. My personal group made it difficult to even take off time if you wanted to, needed a "good reason" to take vacation with at least a month of notice. Pay (as for most bachelor's level lab jobs) is quite low. It was difficult to get raises or move up in the company at the research assistant level.

Pros
Their mission is straightforward and makes you feel good to come to work. They offer many Lunch-and-Learns to advance your skills and understanding of their programs and the efforts they're making to advance military medical health.

Not much room for growth in my department. Since it is a non-profit the pay may not be as great as another for profit company.
