Pros

Depending on the group, you get to work with very smart people. Work/life balance is good. Benefits are good. Operates like a for-profit in the non-profit space. Access to Harvard University resources and backing. Good brand to work with and have on your resume.

Cons

Very little career advancement; people tend to stay in roles for exceptionally long periods of time. Extremely political environment. Lots of constant change. Pay is not the best - depends on the hiring manager, but tries to get away with "non-profit" status.

Pros

Hybrid work schedule, benefits, free access to hbr articles, the Harvard name

Extreme disfunction. Every senior leaders opinion matters so that’s 10 different stakeholders you have to account for. Sr leaders are turning more into a mafia than actual leaders. Toxic workplace filled with politics.
