Dehumanizing experience

Pros

- Great opportunities for advancement depending on what team you work on. I really got the sense that culture was dependent on team. - Some very nice colleagues - Beautiful location and office building - Flexible time off

Cons

- Managers who do not know how to manage. - Constantly changing goals and strategies. - Terrible job security and high turnover - Leadership culture that pretends everything is awesome, when there are clearly severe culture and morale issues. - Impossible to advance if you're on the wrong team or don't know how to play politics. - Not a lot of autonomy or ownership in many roles. - Altogether too many meetings. - Not an inclusive environment for people who don't hold to a very specific brand of classical liberal doctrine. Also, the organization will hire someone for their ideology first, rather than than the actual skills they have for their job.

Pros

The people are amazing. Not just the co-workers, but the faculty partners and donors that you meet. Everyone is super passionate about liberty and eager to advance the mission. Lots of book clubs and lectures. Remote friendly. Travel at least 4 times a year. Work/life balance is really respected. Plenty of time off. Great benefits.

Cons

Salaries are so-so. Internal progression like raises and promotions are slow. Lots of meetings and bureaucracy.
