Good pay and benefits, good work, and good customers/sponsors
Cons
Management overhead is debilitating and capricious. Department/line managers are focused "up the chain" and have little knowledge of what staff do or accomplish. Their management oversight & contribution to program delivery is limited to editorial wordsmithing. Employee evaluation and performance reviews are arbitrary and quota limited.
Intelligent, dedicated colleagues Strong mission of public service Expanding into new important areas like climate change Opportunity to work across multiple areas
Cons
Bloated with VPs and officers who aren't accountable Raises don't even keep up with inflation Additional vacation days earned by working over 9 years was just rescinded Disruptive reorganizations without compelling improvements
