Pros

RA is a mission-driven organization with a diverse array of projects and services--there are many opportunities to learn and add to your professional skill set. RA is flexible and often lets employees work from home. RA employs people who share value for the environment and a commitment to sustainability.

Cons

Being a non-profit, RA is not an organization that takes many risks, which can end up stymieing efforts to grow the services we provide to clients. As a global organization with many home-based employees, it can be challenging to coordinate between time zones and with people who are not in an office with you.

Inept Leadership and Lack of Strategy

Pros

Great mission. Wonderful office location in NYC. Some smart and dedicated team members. Compensation and benefits are reasonable if you can survive lay offs.

Cons

Organization lacks leadership and strategy. Leadership at the highest levels is inept and they are selected based on friendship or personal ties rather than skill set -- this demoralizes everyone. Huge financial challenges and it remains to be seen if the organization can survive. No cogent business plan. Lots of lay offs, including of some who could help the organization.
