Pros
Work-life balance. Friendly atmosphere. Purpose and intentions of the organization are good. Opportunities for movement (lateral and upward) are there, unless you're a researcher without a PhD. Terrific benefits.
Cons
Goofy CEO. Second in charge, the chief strategist, has a proclivity for frequent layoffs--a management consultant, she has brought in allies from the same background. Incredible frequency of turnover in strategy and communications, plus widespread job loss during end-of-grant periods. A top-heavy environment and during "reorgs" they lay off rank and file and shuffle around, and even add to and promote, people at the chief level. Watered down portfolio--went from health-focused to "holistic" in 2011, and revenues in decline ever since.
