Pros

Smart and ambitious staff. While a young org, the founder and his executive team work hard at raising money and creating a public image. The organization is currently the subject of a workplace lawsuit (see Wikipedia article), but for now having the experience on your CV can still be a positive.

Cons

Much higher than industry average staff turnover (both voluntary and forced termination). No reviews or warning, but immediate termination and escorting out of the building.

Pros

Some very smart minds working here

Cons

- Extremely toxic work culture - Senior Leadership have no strategy. They chase good PR to the detriment of the health of their teams. - All power stems from the top. It changes like the wind and is not anchored in the mission or evidence. If you are not kowtowing to the leader, you are let go and without any respect to what you have contributed. This can be seen in the C-suite changing constantly over the past year. - Resource allocation prioritizes senior leadership salaries, which negatively impacts delivery of programs and services. This also illustrates to anybody wanting to invest or fund that it is not a good place for ROI. - Extremely high turnover is a reflection of toxic HR and senior leadership.
