Business Outlook
Pros
- staff that is genuinely dedicated to their mission - huge growth opportunity for those early in their careers; the access to outside companies, talent and projects is unmatched - supportive community and environment, with people you are proud to call coworkers and enjoy spending time with (especially in DC)
Cons
- typically, promotions only occur when a slot is opened up as opposed to merit-based. This isn't because talent isn't acknowledged, but has more to do with their structure. That said, leadership does make an effort to reward talent in other ways, with continuing education, thought leadership, public speaking opportunities, etc.
