Pros

This is a good place to work mainly because the benefits and work life balance can't be beat. Overall the staff is friendly with one another and there are social activities almost every week. Beautiful building in DuPont Circle. Opportunities for travel.

Cons

GMF has experienced some growing pains in the last two years. The newly instated Executive Team gets less done and tends to push their own agendas above what is best for GMF. Your experience here will differ greatly depending on which team you're on. Some Directors are great to work with and others are definitely not. Some of the old guard is unqualified and overpaid and were promoted in to their positions years ago without getting additional training. There are also wonderful and highly skilled individuals.
