Pros

The mission is amazing and my colleagues were smart, motivated and passionate. Exposure to global sustainable development issues; beautiful office in New York.

Cons

Very heavy on "politics." The organization is top heavy, there is a lack of transparency and very little opportunity for growth. They pay is awful and while the benefits are very good they hardly compensate for the low pay (you can check form 990 to get some perspective). Spread too thin and trying to do too much. Crazy turnover. Poor relationship between management at headquarters and field office teams. A big caveat is that some departments are significantly better than others; the forestry program is a highlight.

Pros

I had a great experience as an intern. Good working hours, able to learn and propose new things. Everyone that works there is very helpful and nice. Had 2 interviews before getting the internship.

Cons

Sometimes a little slow and no many opportunities for jobs later on because they do not have so many job openings.

Pros

Kind people and a nice office view. "exposure" to the NGO world and the intricacies of working abroad the problems that lie with such goals

Cons

Lack of direction, lack of involvement, you truly learn nothing. It is a grunt work mission that a high school diploma is only necessary for.
