Pros
Smart, kind colleagues who care about the mission; good work/life balance; intellectual challenge to build new programs/models for a new org that is part philanthropy, part tech company, part research /academic entity and part advocacy org. Very diverse team as a result — far more diverse than most Silicon Valley companies. founders are genuine, inspiring, patient and kind - Priscilla in particular.
Cons
Growth that was too fast and not fully aligned to work earlier on has had impact on role clarity, engagement and caused churn; consensus decision making at times makes things overly bureaucratic for the size of org; lack of tough decision making can be frustrating if you are from a background outside of nonprofits; very process heavy - modeled off of Facebook (but team is relatively small so that can be burdensome).
