Pros

The pay was fine and benefits good. Colleagues were friendly and (mostly) competent. Mission of the organization is fantastic, and you get to feel like you're contributing to something important. Working hours are humane.

Cons

Management was very top-down. Even if you are a fairly senior person, be prepared to have multiple people higher on the totem pole weighing in on even minor decisions.

Pros

Kind colleagues, hybrid work (3 days in office), good benefits, and important mission.

Cons

Top heavy -- too many unnecessary talking heads with large salaries rearranging the deck chairs, while more people are needed to do the actual work. Not much autonomy and very bureaucratic.
