Pros

People are generally friendly and conversational if you make an effort to know them and ask questions. It’s somewhat laidback and my higher-ups were usually understanding and sympathetic to my concerns, but didn’t take much action. The benefits aren’t bad and improved while I was there.

Cons

Not much work to do for many junior staff, even if you take initiative. The company is no longer competitive as a large business, with ISPI being the only successful department recently. Unclear communications, too many meetings, and recently a ton of staff turnover. Everyone has to come to the office on Thursdays just to take meetings remotely at their desk because half the staff go to the other office. Salaries for junior staff with an MA are terrible for the DC area. It seems that it’s a better place to work in a management role and they don’t care much for junior staff.
