Pros

Everything looks good at first, but trust me it isn't. And if you work here and you're not a white man, you're probably being severely underpaid.

Cons

Working here was the biggest letdown of my career. I truly regret not suing for negligent misrepresentation and not leaving after 3 months, when it became clear that I was "support" to my colleagues and not given the chance to rise to the job as it was presented in my interview.

Pros

I was able to take on multiple responsibilities, like research and volunteer engagement, with consideration of my time and workload from school.

Cons

At times, I felt like my work wasn’t as important or could’ve been done by my supervisors, especially when projects were close to completion, they would be altered but I understand it was for time efficiency.
