Pros

Work that is important, even if that's not felt on a daily basis. Wide exposure to how a large NGO functions. Well meaning and diligent colleagues. Increasingly high profile.

Cons

Very bureaucratic, and each level of leadership from unit level to department to overarching department associate directors/directors/vice presidents seem incapable of accepting responsibility for their part in creating a negative environment, and then actively taking the reigns to make big culture changes. Little room for professional development. The ideal employee is someone who cranks out work for their boss with little eye towards the future. People are only promoted or given opportunity once they threaten to leave or their dissatisfaction is obvious.
