      Great place to start, not the best for growth

      Pros

      - For the most part, it's easy to become like family with your coworkers. People are very close. - Lots of great new projects coming out of some of the divisions - Some managers are very supportive of employees pursuing new experiences - Great vacation packages with benefits - Really nice new building with awesome amenities - Pay is pretty decent for a non-profit

      Cons

      - Much of middle management are just there because they've needed to be promoted up and the next step is to supervise people...but they are HORRIBLE supervisors. Just because you're older and experienced in your industry DOES NOT mean you should be supervising people. - When people leave, works just gets absorbed and people get over-worked like crazy. - While I've seen some lateral movement, opportunities for growth are enormously limited unless you stay there forever - As for the people that DO stay there forever...they get stuck in old behaviors and with old processes and as a result are incredibly closed-minded about change - Over-priced cafe and limited food options in the area, especially compared to the old Chinatown neighborhood - Gym isn't free (but that's because it's staffed with somebody who teaches classes)
