meaningful business, smart and professional coworkers, global collaboration & teamwork, autonomy, fast-paced, never a dull day, philanthropy

Too much on each person's plate, leadership decisions often create unnecessary tension and conflicting priorities, lacks knowledge management (a great deal of institutional knowledge lost every time someone leaves, creating a long period of inefficiencies)
