      Pros

      Very smart, passionate people working on a great cause. They are thoughtful and open to new ideas.

      Cons

      I was not impressed by the managers here. They tend to be well-respected in their fields, but were not ready to manage employees.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Bright people, reasonable work-life balance, exciting projects, competitive compensation, entrepreneurial, taking cutting edges to solve the most difficult problems, has a diverse and helpful network that is used for fundraising but also advancing program goals, good focus on getting tangible, measurable environmental results, unusual discipline for a non-profit organization

      Cons

      Difficult to move up, some lack of transparency into management decisions, need to improve cross-programmatic work in some areas, tough to get a job, as it is a very competitive landscape with lots of applicants for almost every position that opens up
