What I liked
I liked the organization; they fund a lot of really cool projects and everyone who works there is fantastic.
What I wish was different
I wish that we had worked in their main office in downtown DC rather than remotely from Charlottesville.
Advice
You will get out of this job what you put into it. It is very easy to slack off because you don't work in the same place as your boss, so you have to always be self-motivated.
