Pros

DEI culture Mission Colleagues Decent pay

Cons

Every place is political - this place is all political without healthy constraints that other businesses have so politics is everything Incredibly harsh culture for women leaders. some good work happening with the DEI focus that will/could help but it's far from effective in the experience women have today.
