Pros

Solid mission and some very smart people who truly want to make a difference. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Terrible place for a marketer given the internal structure, but a new CMO was brought in and is hopefully shaking things up. Marketing had no budget and basically took orders from teams who know nothing about marketing. It’s also a meeting heavy culture, so be prepared to spend all of your time in mostly unnecessary meetings. Pay is terrible, even for a nonprofit. No learning or career advancement opportunities. There were also several times when the Founder and CEO gave conflicting feedback and direction causing major confusion and anxiety. Decisions are slow to be made and often have no clear strategy or rational behind them.

Pros

lots of room for autonomy, working on world's hardest problems, great culture, great people, great benefits.

Cons

always room for improvement in scheduling all hands meetings- (hard with so many people in the company), doing a LOT of things at once (generally good thing, comes with challenges)
