Pluspunten
Excellent network of researchers the organisation engages with. Interesting and important research topics. Flexible working hours. Decent benefits for the sector, if low for the Bay Area.
Minpunten
An occasionally restrictive research environment with direction dictated by senior staff with minimal input from analysts. Slow and tedious turn around on projects. Poor management and communication leads to confusion and isolated working environment. Salary is low for the Bay Area. Flexible working hours are nice, but it means other staff are often not in the office and this hinders the ability to progress projects. Opportunity for career progression is limited owing to the small and niche nature of the organisation. High staff turnover. Most staff seem to leave within 2 - 3 years which says a lot about morale and opportunities for career progression.
