Pros
It is very rare to find a place as great as SEPA. Not only do we have a wonderful mission, but we get to work with the best and brightest in the clean energy industry. Despite rather significant changes, such as two recent mergers with other non-profits, we have maintained a robust and collaborative culture. Not only does everyone get alone very well, in many ways it feels much more than work, it is like family. We do a lot for such a small team and it is largely because we all help each other achieve our collective goals. Further, in an era where most organizations are cutting benefits, SEPA continues to expand ours. I am blown away by the generosity of the organization - not just in compensation - but health care, 24 days of paid leave, commuting benefits, cash to cover the annual out-of-pocket health care deductible, and 401k match program!
Cons
Limited opportunities to work remotely and I wish there was paid paternity leave - otherwise the benefits are fantastic and top of class. Given that it is such a small organization, upward mobility can be somewhat limited depending on the department.
