Great for strengthening independent skills - Anonymous employee Justice Policy Institute Employee Review

- Great opportunity to gain first-hand experience working in a think tank. - You can learn a lot about current criminal justice system reform efforts. - Friendly staff that give useful feedback. - Flexible, willing to work around your school schedule - You can request to work on additional projects with different departments. - There were a couple free lunches. - Opportunity to contribute to published research reports and their official JPI blog.

- Research in general is sometimes boring. - Frequently ran out of things to do. I wish it was more fast paced. - Students sometimes think an internship will lead to contacts that will lead to a job. Not the case with this internship and probably not the case with most other internships. JPI goes through a lot of interns so an intern has to really make an effort to try to stand out (so they can use a JPI staff member as a reference in the future) which can be hard for introverts... - Internship was not paid when I was there. A transportation stipend would have been nice!

The people are hard working and care about the mission of this non-profit. Doing good work despite their size.

small organization, not room for growth
