Pros

Brilliant mission focused colleagues, meaningful work that has a real impact, good benefits and work life balance.

Cons

The current administration turned the well oiled machine into chaos, disrupting funding, research, travel, and more. I’ve heard that it is improving, but still constantly changing and a chaotic environment. I know it will one day get back to the amazing place it was.
