Pros

Working at RAND was like binging on brain candy everyday. There there numerous interesting seminars everyday and I got to meet and interact with a number of top policy analysts in their fields.

Cons

I was working in the Santa Monica office. If you don't like Los Angeles, I don't recommend it. RAND offers very competitive salaries, but the cost of living in Santa Monica is also quite high.
