Nice people, boring work

Pros

Getting to work with people who are smart, nice, and passionate

Cons

The work is incredibly boring. I was expecting to be doing and presenting statistical research, but instead it seems that research associates are professional data cleaners. The only statistics performed is basic descriptive stats, and even that is reserved for PhDs

Pros

Work is interesting, people are very bright, see policy actually being made from the work you do.

Cons

Telework is allowed for only a few people. The agency is micro managed to a stifling degree. All employees need to clock in and out, which has a negative impact on creativity and morale. Most people are simply punching the clock. The agency does not follow OPM guidelines, so employees coming from other federal agencies tend to shocked by the lack of flexibility. There is very little career mobility here.

Pros

Very collegial. Great place to conduct research on federal sentencing guidelines. The small office environment allows for you to shine on big projects

Cons

Working with high ranking and very intellectual legal professionals can be intimidated. With few employees, its sometimes too quiet or even creepy.
