      Pros

      Great place that's extraordinarily well connected in Boston and in Philanthropy. Great place to work if you're interested in public policy, philanthropy, or the nonprofit sector.

      Cons

      Mid level and senior people rarely leave so it's tough to move up from the associate level.

      Interesting Place to Work but Shaky Overall Culture

      Pros

      The Foundation is well known and respected in the community and the staff is hardworking. There is also the opportunity to interact with many community stakeholders, such as grantees and partner organizations. Work/life balance is also encouraged.

      Cons

      The office is pretty siloed by department, and even within each department by team, and has a very corporate atmosphere in general. This not only affects culture building, but also communication. For the most part everyone is friendly and cordial, but there are some people don't even say hi to you when they pass you in the hall. Seems to be a bit cliquey too. Top management doesn't reflect the communities that the Foundation serves very well either - they're 99% older and white. There are the token minorities at the top level, but not nearly as diverse as it should be for an organization that claims to have Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion as part of its core values.
