Pros

Amazing staff, many useful resources, good experience. The grad students are very helpful and worked on the project with me.

Cons

The compensation was not as satisfactory as I had imagined. I did not receive hourly pay, instead I received a scholarship of minimal amount at the end of the semester.

Flexible schedule, pension plan is available. Work for an excellent employer in higher education.
