Pluspunten

This is a public interest organization that works on behalf of the consumer. So you'll know that your work is almost always fighting for "the little guy," something that's sorely needed. You are surrounded by bright people and there are a lot of opportunities for growth, depending on what you want to do and resources available. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to learn about tech policy in the areas of telecommunications and intellectual property. The staff are incredibly valuable resources for those who want to pursue a career in policy.

Minpunten

Public interest organizations don't always pay the best and sometimes the work can be a frustrating experience. A lot of the work done at the organization is in order to advocate before Congress or a federal agency like the Federal Communications Commission. Given that Congress is not passing much legislation these days and government agencies can move slowly, it's not always the most rewarding experience in terms of immediate gratification.

Pluspunten

Excellent subject matter experts to learn from. Varied exposure to different subject matters depending on the project. Ability to seek projects.

Minpunten

Attorneys can be busy, so while not truly a con, you must actively pursue a project to work on.

Pluspunten

Public Knowledge is one of the most effective and impactful tech policy organizations in DC, and that shows from the numerous tech policy wins that PK has been a part of, including Comcast-TWC merger and net neutrality. The senior staff are the most respected and intelligent people in their fields of expertise (copyright, net neutrality, patents, spectrum) and help foster the education of other staff to their issues. There are lots of opportunities for staff at all levels to work with different organizations inside and outside the beltway, speak on panels/hearings, and attend conferences. The vacation and health insurance benefits are top notch for a non-profit, and most people on staff are really friendly.

Minpunten

The leadership change in 2014 has led to a lot of exits throughout different levels of the organization (senior, mid-level, and entry level) in the past year, and it hasn't slowed. For a small (20-25 people) organization, this negatively impacts the internal morale of the organization. Salaries for entry and mid-level staff could be better considering the work load.
