Pros

Inspired and motivated colleagues, very welcoming and collegial atmosphere in the ogranization, great pay, strong organizational emphasis on protecting the employee to ensure a fair and safe work environment, support in pursuing opportunities, access to a great network of (friendly and available) experts.

Cons

The organisation has high overhead costs, which makes it difficult as a project lead to apply for new funding and properly manage your funds. Some silo-ing of projects; it would be great to see more support for cross-sectoral, cross-thematic collaboration. Probably varies team to team, but it seems some people are very overworked and are unable to get funding to expand their teams - this then degrades work-life balance.

Pros

Some incredibly kind, smart, and passionate employees. Above average pay for a non-profit (could be better), fulfilling mission, great benefits (healthcare, PTO, 8% 401k match)

Cons

The higher up you go in the org, the worse it gets. Executive leadership is abysmal and they completely eroded trust in their ability to lead. Most of the C-suite needs to be replaced with people with higher EQ. Marketing in particular has an extremely toxic corporate culture that’s become immensely worse in the past 3-5 years. Layoffs were never a common occurrence, but in the last couple years, they happen with no rhyme or reason and those exact roles that were eliminated are seemingly reposted just mere weeks after folks are pushed out. Beware of what team you’re joining. It’s a mixed bag. Some amazing teams with incredible leadership, and some not.
