Half great, half not so great

Pros

Great perks and benefits, most people are awesome. Good opportunity for work life balance. My team was a group of amazing people.

Cons

The lack of diversity is unfortunate. There is no growth potential for staff hired at lower levels. Senior leadership just don't care about what happens to low level staff. HR has blown through people like toilet paper, Finance is a hot mess, and Fred refuses to address any of these issues.

Pros

Colleagues are innovative, very smart, passionate, and pragmatic, and also dedicated to one another. The board of trustees and many large donors have tremendous wisdom and connections and are eager to help with more than just funding. The executive team is solutions oriented.

Cons

Growing rapidly and occasionally experiences growing pains.
