Pros

Meaningful mission and innovative research and staff Fully vested retirement after 1 year Good PTO package Good professional development

Cons

Elitist organization - lots of Ivy League snobs who will question your area of knowledge. As someone who was first-gen college graduate, this was TOUGH. People lack empathy and getting to know you as a person. When you start a meeting, you might have 30 seconds of greetings before they want to cut to the chase. Off-putting. Never experienced this before this workplace. Work-life balance can be lacking - a lot of false urgency. Low salaries. Some depts over-promote people, some depts NEVER promote. HR team bends decisions for leadership and favorite folks - makes it hard to get a consistent answer bc there's so many exceptions. Just gotta hope you're on their good side. Benefits team not consistently helpful in explaining benefits and changes Lots of leadership change and staff turnover
