Pros

He estado trabajando en The Nature Conservancy en tiempo completo por un corto periodo por lo que no conozco tan profundamente a la organización. - It is a globally recognized organization that has a strong support structure for all units, which means an advantage for small business units, like the one I work for. - The agenda has excellent initiatives that motivate me to add ideas and achieve results that collaborate with the construction of a better world, where we strive to conserve nature and improve the quality of life of communities that depend directly on it. - The people who work in the organization have a high professional level, are friendly, cooperative, comprehensive and purposeful, is wonderful work with them. - The benefits are very good - The options to take courses, make exchanges, access other job positions, among others, represent a great opportunity to grow professionally

Cons

- The pay could be better (considering the wild rates in similar organizations and the economic situation of this country - inflation). - The onboarding process is long, there are too many things to learn in a very short time.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very welcoming and supportive culture, and organisation that truly looks to live its values. Highly empowering and encouraging of innovation. Fantastic to be part of a global team, huge amount of geographic diversity which is a real strength of the organisation. Also, nice to be part of a non-confrontational organisation, that values working with partners, indigenous peoples and local communities.

Cons

Can be hard working out who to connect to internally, if seeking specific technical advice. But people soon put you in touch with the right person.
