Pros

Inspiring mission, great people, fast pace, well resourced

Cons

The organization is huge, and people in the same roles can have drastically different experiences depending on whether they work for the world office, or a state program - and each state program is very distinct with its own culture and expectations. Be sure you really vet the program you are pursuing to ensure it's the right fit, and if it's not a fit, don't fret - there's likely another program at The Nature Conservancy that is.

Pros

Some incredibly kind, smart, and passionate employees. Above average pay for a non-profit (could be better), fulfilling mission, great benefits (healthcare, PTO, 8% 401k match)

Cons

The higher up you go in the org, the worse it gets. Executive leadership is abysmal and they completely eroded trust in their ability to lead. Most of the C-suite needs to be replaced with people with higher EQ. Marketing in particular has an extremely toxic corporate culture that’s become immensely worse in the past 3-5 years. Layoffs were never a common occurrence, but in the last couple years, they happen with no rhyme or reason and those exact roles that were eliminated are seemingly reposted just mere weeks after folks are pushed out. Beware of what team you’re joining. It’s a mixed bag. Some amazing teams with incredible leadership, and some not.
