Pros

Somehow flexibility, but for some, not for all.

Cons

Worst company I’ve worked for, Compensation is awfully low, offices are old and the bad management is something I’ve never seen before.

Pros

Better pay than average for graduate students Good freedom and flexibility

Cons

Poor communication and organization from management led to missed pay on multiple occasions. This falls more on ORISE mentors than on ORISE management itself. Liability concerns restricted research opportunities
