Pros

The mission- asset building for low to moderate Americans is something I ALWAYS stood behind. Opportunity to meet very intelligent, dedicated professionals. Downtown DC location is prime. Benefits

Cons

EVERYTHING ELSE! The culture there is AWFUL. Everyone wants to be a manager, and if you're nice to the President, you will be. Most of the worker bees are treated as dispensable. A lot of back handed, closed door conversations going on (I went through multiple PERSONAL reorganizations in less than 3 years). Chastised for not attending "Office Happy Hours"

Pros

Getting to work with some of the brightest people in an implementation oriented think-tank. Cross-matrixed work means that you're not siloed into your team. Andrea truly is a rockstar and took steps to engage with, and help empower, every staff member.

Cons

The pacing can be a crush, even by DC standards. Because everything is cross matrixed, you're relationship with your boss is co-equal to your relationship with every other boss you're engaged with, which can be frazzling.
