                Working at the El Paso Branch was horrible and full of microaggressions. The place was so hostile that the cleaners picked up dirty particles and left it on the table because they didn't want to clean up after "certain types" of people. Do not waste your time working at such a racist organization.

                  Cons

                  Very toxic management. Too concerned with meeting diversity quotas, and you had to either be black or Hispanic to be considered for promotions or retention. If you didn't fit their ideals or their norm, then you were never really accepted. You truly need to drink the Fed Kool-Aid and settle to survive there.

                    Cons

                    Research department prioritizes citations over normal human behavior, which means economists with 20k+ citations get a green light to run over other economists and research analysts with no repercussions If you say anything, leadership ignores you or explains it away by qualifying unacceptable behavior as normal in the profession, leading to toxic environment (and attrition) in some groups. They do this because if they lose high citation individuals, it impacts the research ranking of the institution.

                      I interview with this place about a week and a half ago. I think it went well and in the interview she said the next step would be a writing example, so I did that. Sent it to them the day it was due and haven't heard back since. She did say any next steps would be after thanksgiving since everyone was busy and their calendars full last week. I followed up on Monday with an email, but haven't heard back. Maybe it's taking awhile or should I try again end of week? I would at least like feedback.
