Pros

Great place to understand relationships between public and private sector. Diverse programs and projects to sink your teeth into.

Cons

People don't stick around long enough to see projects through, especially senior leadership. They treat MEDC as a stepping stone to something better. When new leadership comes in (which is frequent) a reorg usually occurs, shuffling things around to invigorate the system resulting in wasted resources.

Pros

Work-life balance was valued and exceptional. The work and mission was meaningful and you worked with really bright and intelligent peers who really care about the mission of the organization. This factor alone made the culture of the organization unique and great. The job itself was also great in that you are put in positions where you had to rise up to the challenge: representing the state and Governor's office, learning to work with various types of local governments, and exposure to working directly with top companies and C-suites. The work experience itself was good for this reason. Good benefits.

Cons

Limited career growth in terms of pay and moving up the ladder. Even though the work is not supposed to be political, the organization can be political. Like most state agencies, top leadership is replaced with new administration so you should be prepared for changes every 4-8 years.
