Pros

1. The people - excellent work environment, brilliant colleagues from all over 2. The work - diverse projects, collaborations with world-class entities and strong brand names 3. The freedom - very genuine horizontal hierarchy, every single voice is actively encouraged to contribute across contexts 3.

Cons

1. Some meetings should not be meetings 2. Projects can be staffed in uneven ways - lots of freedom to take on projects also means it can be up to you to turn down requests which can be a negative. There are however capacity leads to support in ensuring everyone is not doing more than they should

Pros

Note that I primarily worked on BFA Global's Catalyst Fund, which is equal parts venture investor and technical assistance service provider, so this may not be accurate for the rest of the organization. The experience to working closely with disruptive, purpose-driven founders across emerging markets was incredible. I learned a lot and really felt the impact of my work immediately.

Cons

Priorities are driven by the funders, so if there's a mismatch with what you want as an individual, then it's tough to justify.
