Pros

Collaborative and smart colleagues, learning culture, opportunities to grow capabilities, mission-oriented focus, non-profit

Cons

Leadership under current CEO has been a continual revolving door, with recent lay-offs and a reorganization that is ill-timed during the COVID crisis and apparent financial health. The only people who are promoted know how to manage upward, and are not based on merit.
