      Pros

      This organization is an excellent place to work if you have a family. Leadership is very supportive of family and nurtures an awesome balance between work and home life.

      Cons

      The pay is not always so great. With the organization being a not for profit, the pay scale often falls below market.

      Pros

      Wonderful people who are passionate about all the languages of the world (over 7,000). There is much freedom to determine just how you will fit in and do your work. Encouraged to benefit the community where you work and inspire others. Challenging and important software development in language tools and use in research.

      Cons

      Must raise your own support. Projects often take years to complete. Can be difficult to get feedback on results.

      Great vision, poor management

      Pros

      Great vision of providing the Bible to those languages that don't have them. Most staff are extremely committed to this goal.

      Cons

      Management are untrained in management, and full of unrealistic ideas. Very little teamwork. There is no project management of language projects and the only the language projects that are going well get any management support. Those that start going south will get less support and the language team hung out to dry.
