Pros

I was there a while ago, but some of the pros were: good colleagues, good benefits, and some opportunities for growth. It was a younger organization when I was there so there was a sense of collegiality there, but I get the sense it has grown.

Cons

Some opportunities for growth but those opportunities can be limited depending on which department you are in. Directors have to spend a lot of time fundraising for their departments.

Pros

Experience as an employee is very dependent on host program/lab. Org structure supports policy, advocacy, and academic writers. No major top-down limitations which allows for depth of work across program areas (education, technology, benefits, etc).

Cons

Not great support from central comms for crisis communications.
