Pros

Tons of opportunities and facetime with multiple people in the industry. Opportunities to work on amazing projects and infect real change into clean energy and climate change policy and clean transportation. Mission driven company which makes it easy to get behind. Staff is fantastic. Everyone genuinely likes each other and the dynamics between staff is great. Remote work policy both pre and during COVID is exceptional

Cons

While the benefits are great, the pay is still low comparative to the industry. Structure in terms of upward mobility and position descriptions is pretty undefined, which makes things confusing in terms of advancement of roles.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. Structure is coming! I'm sure you understand that rolling this out successfully requires a focus that has shifted a bit with COVID-19, but clarification is on the way.
