Pros

Good work being done on the ground in the field Good pay, benefits and opportunity for professional staff Greater emphasis on working with partners across the organization (as opposed to making "partners" do what TNC desires) Very smart people, mostly working effectively together

Cons

Heavy internal and external rhetoric/spin on global strategy through policy and partnerships (sexy) with minimal correlation to ROI relative to less ambitious (less sexy) but more tried and true investments and their relative and more readily measurable returns Generating money for conservation strategies broadly and mistakenly used as a surrogate for actual conservation heavily celebrated and crowed as wins

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.
