Pros

Not many. Will look good on your resume and you'll be fortunate to meet some truly great coworkers, but this place should be a stepping stone and not a final destination for any person who's serious about having an honest career in this industry. There is absolutely no room for growth unless you're willing to submit to the same unprofessional behaviors those in leadership have used to thrive with. This place is not worth compromising your morals, values, and principles.

Cons

Almost everything. Take careful note of the critical reviews on here since they paint a more accurate portrayal of culture and leadership. It looks like management is trying hard to flood this page with fake, positive reviews so figured I'd add my two-cents. The truth is I've never seen a more callous and unprofessional environment in my life. I can't speak for the other organizations in the network, but the development office is rotten to the core. There are serious leadership issues and it seems like HR doesn't have a real role to play other than doing what they're told by those in power. MBM culture does not apply. The principles are weaponized against good, honest employees and it's disturbing the way leadership dehumanizes those beneath them. They wield power in the most unethical ways I've seen in a professional, social, or personal setting. There are stories of past employees trying to raise these concerns to the very top levels (trying to reach Koch Industries). However, most people seem to be bullied, silenced, or pushed out until the problem goes away. Only to have those in leadership continue the same conveyer belt of callous, dehumanizing behavior. There is SERIOUS turnover in the development office and that is a fact. I've seen full teams decimated in the matter of weeks. This happens for a number of reasons. People get bullied until they leave or leadership finds a way to get rid of them. Some get fed up with the culture and last as long as it takes until they have another job secured. Some leave with nothing else lined up because the culture is just that bad. No matter what management says, this is the truth and glossing over it with false pretenses of "change" and "restructuring" doesn't hide these issues. On the contrary, it makes them even more obvious to the average employee.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We deliberately foster a culture of transparency, humility, self-actualization, and personal development, so we were distressed to read your comments. As a community, the belief that every person has value is core to the work we do. We believe that removing the obstacles that stand in the way of individual development and mutual benefit is a concept that starts at home, with our team, and extends to drive the work we do for society. In the spirit of constructive improvement, we hope you’ll feel comfortable reaching out to your HR Leader to talk directly about your experience. We welcome the opportunity to address the situation more individually, and we hope this is just the beginning of this discussion.

Pros

Resourceful and makes a good effort as a company overall to make sure employees are encouraged to share and contribute ideas. Welcoming to what you want to say than many other companies.

Cons

I can’t tell if it is other teams. But for my team the job has been very demanding, and being pushed to get things done faster and faster can be frustrating, especially when you are new are trying to learn and comprehend complex systems. Meetings can overload times to get any stuff done, and sometimes you can be micromanaged to a point you can become overtly stressed out. also if you are not a Republican, Libertarian, or at least pro Conservatism; you should keep that to yourself. Your political alignment like it or not can and will be used against you.
