Pros
CDT fosters a fun and rewarding work environment, with colleagues who are passionate about serving the public interest. CDT takes a principled approach to its policy recommendations, and advocates for the most important tech policy issues of the day (privacy protection, AI governance, freedom of expression, etc.). I really enjoyed my time there and would consider returning.
Cons
Salary may not be able to match private-sector equivalents, but is in line with other non-profit organizations.
