Great work culture, but pay is low for DC - Research Assistant AEI Employee Review

Friendly coworkers, good sense of mission, feels like you are making an impact.

If you work at a think tank you will get paid a think tank salary.

Wonderful people who are passionate about what they do. Great place to learn as there are always events. Overall I love my job at AEI.

Experience differs significantly based on what scholar you work for. There are RAs worked to the bone for overtime without pay and RAs that find themselves without much work to do. The salary is also terrible compared with every other think tank.
