Business outlook
Pros
- Lots of smart people to work with who have diverse academic/professional backgrounds - Feel like I made direct impact for sponsors - Good work life balance, no expectation of overtime at all
Cons
- Was told that I had to climb into leadership positions (TL, GL, Resource Manager, etc) to be promoted past intermediate level - Depends on the department, but you are sometimes required to search internally for jobs, and the support you get or lack thereof depends on the manager and department - 4 days a week in office required even if the work program doesn't really require in-person work - I am generally concerned about the future of FFRDCs under the current federal administration
