      Pros

      Good coworkers, nice people to connect with. Good office location. You'll walk away with good skills, even if this isn't the best position.

      Cons

      Tons of time wasted on inefficient processes; on-boarding experience is really frustrating and disorganized. I was already working more than 40 hours in my first week. Also, staff are underpaid and little flexibility on in-person and virtual working arrangements. Always got messages from my manager right at 5pm.

      Pros

      - The work is intellectually engaging and gave me many chances to grow technically. - I learned a lot from talented coworkers and appreciated being part of projects with real-world relevance. - There was also good exposure to translating technical work into clear, usable takeaways.

      Cons

      - The work can be intense and detail-heavy, and deadlines can sometimes feel demanding. - Priorities may shift quickly, which can make it hard to plan ahead. - At times, the volume of revisions and fast pace can be stressful.
