Pros
I've been fortunate to work at TechSoup for the last 8 years as the organization has pioneered new technologies, partnerships and business models to become a very successful nonprofit social enterprise with diversified support. This allows us to continue to innovate new projects and programs all over the world. We have an impact on real people and partner with exceptional NGOs in 60 countries. For me, this visionary leadership takes place in tandem with a caring management style and a thriving and open staff culture in which not only are professional accomplishments recognized, but personal pursuits outside of work - family, sports, art, music, film, theater - are celebrated as well. I feel that I'm part of a team, have the flexibility to evolve my duties as needed, and am appreciated for my work.
Cons
The biggest con is the cost of living in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Unfortunately, it's bad, and getting worse.
