      Pros

      The focus at CZI is really on being empowered to make your work as impactfully as possible. It is a privilege to have your goal truly be doing your best work and growing in your field and not generating a profit. You get to work with brilliant people who celebrate each other as much as the work they do. CZI works hard to provide competitive salaries and benefits. They are always striving to be an industry leader in terms of benefit and compensation strategies. You are supported as a whole person, not just a worker, and that means a lot - generous vacation, support with your life goals, support for those with children, and benefits around supporting a whole you. There is work going on to truly "walk the walk" of our organizational values, but it is a genuine effort to do so and not just lip service you would see at a large corporation.

      Cons

      There is a lot of overcommunication from CZI central, but it is the result of people working hard to design a better work environment for us. Overall, I feel very lucky to work here.

      Pros

      I couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend a meaningful chapter of my career. Intelligent, mission-driven, low-ego colleagues, inspiring work, and many opportunities to learn and grow. It’s also one of the few places I’ve worked where you don’t have to trade off between enjoying the work, good compensation, and a healthy work-life balance. Even having been impacted by layoffs, I remain very grateful for the experience.

      Cons

      Increase volatility in recent years with restructuring. Hopefully things settle with clearer strategic direction in place.

      Pros

      Lots of smart people to work with and learn from. Onsite office is great.

      Cons

      Leadership and middle management will do anything to make themselves look good to c-levels , will go as far as taking credit for work not done by them. Every 3-4 months for years and prior to me working there, org goals change at a dime with no heads up and expectations are to perform excellently.
