Pros

Good opportunities for developing your skills; peers and supervisors are not afraid to give feedback on your work and have a deep understanding of their specialties and how to keep contract clients happy.

Cons

Hard to maintain a work-life balance; responsibilities sometimes surpass role descriptions and pay. More tenured employees tend to set an example of overworking that rubs off on newer generations of employees.

Pros

- The work is intellectually engaging and gave me many chances to grow technically. - I learned a lot from talented coworkers and appreciated being part of projects with real-world relevance. - There was also good exposure to translating technical work into clear, usable takeaways.

Cons

- The work can be intense and detail-heavy, and deadlines can sometimes feel demanding. - Priorities may shift quickly, which can make it hard to plan ahead. - At times, the volume of revisions and fast pace can be stressful.
