Pros

In less than two years, R Street has emerged as a major force in D.C.'s right-of-center public policy community. They have recruited a great staff (mostly by raiding other think tanks) and have grown by leaps and bounds.

Cons

The organization works on really wonky issues. . . so far, it doesn't get on TV as much as other think tanks. While the schedule itself is family friendly (employees pick their own hours), there's a cultural expectation that you be working almost all the time.
