Dedicated colleagues Interesting work Potential to make a positive difference in the lives of others Generous benefits Flexible work schedule

Cons

Prioritize making leadership happy over achieving impact Develop strategies in a manner divorced from those they are intended to serve Lacking in ability to use evidence to inform decision-making and uphold long-term commitments Lots of time wasted on worthless busy work in response to manufactured urgency
