Great place to work but limited room for career growth

Policy associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I learned a lot at IPA and the work culture is great. You have enough space to learn and do things on your own but also have the supervision and tools to guide you in the right direction. You will learn not just about your work in research management and/or policy but also partner management, logistics, admin, and proposal development.

Cons

You will work long hours from time to time (even on holidays) and you really need to fight for your promotion.
