Pros

The work environment is supportive and collaborative. Everyone identifies with the mission and has a shared purpose for coming to work every day. It is a unique opportunity to experience this.

Cons

The workload can sometimes demand more of your time. This is to be expected in most work environments. It does have a corporate feel, so it's important to know if that will work for you or not. There is limited growth for junior staff to move up to more senior positions.
