      OK workplace - Associate Director of Development The Nature Conservancy Employee Review

      Pros

      Colleagues are intelligent, truly dedicated to conservation, and most are strong collaborators. Salaries are competitive. Strong work-life balance with Nature Fridays (off every Friday).

      Cons

      Leadership is hit or miss. Some managers lack basic core competencies, and professional development only happens if you are well-liked by the hiring manager. Lots of microaggressions. Some colleagues have been there for many years (10+), but they really seem to be coasting in their careers. This could be a pro because it's a great workplace to work until retirement, but it does give old guard.

      Pros

      Mission is awesome. Great work-life balance.

      Cons

      Prioritizes comfort over continuous improvement. Very bureaucratic and slow. Incredibly sensitive culture to a point of extremity--don't think you're in a safe space or that you can be open with any communication. Someone will be offended by your honesty and the backlash is yours to manage. They prefer people to just go with the flow even if it's painful, inefficient, etc.
