If you get the opportunity to join TNC, DO IT, DO IT, DO IT! - Water Quality Specialist The Nature Conservancy Employee Review

I've been at TNC for almost three months and couldn't be happier. Before TNC, I worked at a large federal agency and very small environmental nonprofit. TNC blends the pros of both of those scales without many of the cons. As a large, well-funded organization, TNC can invest in the long view and has resources (financial and human) to solve persistent, tricky environmental problems. As a non-profit, it's not constrained by near as much bureaucracy and admin law that other institutions of it's scale are (like a large federal or state agency). Like a small nonprofit, it can be much more nimble to respond to changing environments (ecological and regulatory). There are so many resources for professional and personal development--runs the gamut from technical trainings to free meditation apps. I feel like my team really wants to see me be my very best and is happy to invest in my development. Plus, the people are wicked smart and deeply care about their work and each other. I've never been so excited about my career!
