Pros
Conifer has a fun and easygoing culture, and the projects are always changing and never boring. The quality of the work you will do here will always make you proud; this is not a company that will force "shortcuts" and impossible timelines. There are plenty of opportunities to travel both domestically and abroad. Since it's a small company, you will have the opportunity to grow your skills in many directions. There are opportunities for presentation, data collection and synthesis, writing, and video editing experience that are rare to gain as a young person otherwise. Hours are very reasonable compared to other similar companies, rarely going over 9-5 except near presentation dates and on fieldwork. This is a great place to start a career while also leading a sane life, and making lifelong friends.
Cons
On paper, Conifer doesn't pay as much as other similar companies, but when factoring in hours, quality of life, fun projects, and experience gained, you won't regret the time you spend here.
