Lots of Pretty Words

Pros

Pay and benefits. Majority of people who work there do care about the organization and how it benefits society. Volunteering is important.

Cons

Lots of pretty words about opportunity and learning new skills. Can easily get stuck in a position for years with no opportunity to get out. Sr management politics impacts all employees. Expect annual reorganizations and supervisors - sometimes as many as 3 in a year. Expect annual layoffs - "expense reduction". Can be high stress and long hours. depending on your division (less resources to cover more work). Think of the position as on the job training for your next job with another company.

Pros

Many colleagues are bright, talented and hard working. Good environment to change roles ever 2-3 years. Positive culture to be be good corporate citizens.

Cons

Career progression can quite political. Not always about talent or ability but about the relationships built. If one has been marked a “high potential “ employee, then there are a lot of opportunities. Company doesn’t have strong appreciation for more seasoned and experienced professionals as they are obsessed with millennials and Gen Z. (Good if you fall into these category)
