Pros

People in DC are down to earth, work is intriguing and keeps you engaged and excited. Good experience for the resume.

Cons

Everything is political and tied to some larger ambition. Roles are often undefined and siloed and ineffective. Promotions are rare and pay is dependent on equity which vests slowly.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
