Amazing Organization!

Pros

TNTP really tries to balance work and life. There are multiple structures in place to advocate for how you spend your time: from choosing projects, discussing time allocations, or raising concerns with managers. If managers are ineffective, there's structures to ensure that they can be reported. TNTP tries to cultivate an inclusive culture, and there is still progress to be made, but I've never worked anywhere more affirming and humanizing.

Cons

They can offer more competitive salaries and it's more difficult to advance with their internal hiring process versus promotions based on doing excellent work. They'll say you're valued and give you "stretch opportunities", but realistically you'll wind up doing work for a level above you without being promoted to that level.

Pros

TNTP is a great place to work. Everyone is very mission-driven and extremely passionate about the work. There is a very healthy organizational culture, with limited cynicism. The people are extremely driven, very intelligent, and genuinely kind and enjoyable to be around. There are also many opportunities for growth, even if you do not have previous experience in education. Additionally, the organization really values feedback, coaching, and continuous professional growth. My manager is wonderful and very supportive.

Cons

The common refrain about TNTP is that the work load and pace are not sustainable. I'm not sure this is always the case - though there were seasons where I was extremely exhausted and overwhelmed. I think the bigger issue is that the frenetic pace often prevents teams from addressing important, big-picture issues (like direction, staff allocation, etc.), because there are so many urgent things to get done. Two other things I did not enjoy are 1) Ed reform is a very political space and there are times when it is hard to know whether we're part of the solution or just contributing to the problem. And 2) Many of the TNTPers I've worked with are kind and humble and constantly seeking to grow, but there are others who come across as arrogant and condescending.

The Place is in Shambles

Pros

The only pro to this job is the flexibility and pay, but only if you come in at what you want to be making. Once you are in don't expect any raises past the incremental. Also some of the people who are directors and lower and great people.

Cons

Systems are in bad working order and the executive team pays no attention to the ground level workers who really make the place run. They work them into the ground and keep saying good job while they sit in their high places coming up with ideas to implement that they themselves don't put into place. I don't know what the ET team does? Restructuring is horrible and they lie to you and hide the truth of what is happening.
