Pros

Pretty flexible with work/life balance, good benefits

Cons

They play favorites, and it’s allowed because the review and compensation process is not good. You could see one person move up multiple levels in a short timeframe while others get stuck at a certain level even if they’re doing the same work.

Slow, under paying, hot mess

Pros

Some of their projects are doing good in the world, though many are just in the background.

Cons

Senior management is very cliquey and stuck in the past. There is no company culture or pride in the organization. They underpay their staff even compared to other nonprofits in the space so there's constant turnover

Pros

Knowledgable coworkers who are passionate about their work and sense of community

Cons

Not great with rolling out org-wide procedures and general communication. Things move slowly with the execs and sometimes their advice to employees is not helpful or relatable ("take afternoons off for the whole week to get outdoor time" but still expected to complete the same amount of work that week)
