Pros

Working at AidData was a good way to get experience in development and was easy to work into my schedule along with classes as nearly all the work is remote.

Cons

The semester I spent with AidData was incredibly disorganized- at times there was very little work to do and at others there was a lot of work to do in a short period. Additionally, you have to work a large number of unpaid hours before you see any salary.

Pros

You get good research experience as a student, and it looks impressive on the resume.

Cons

In my experience, I did a lot of work independently, so if you like to work alongside others in person, this may not be the best fit.
