      Meaningful work and a great work culture

      Pros

      I've been fortunate to work at TechSoup for the last 8 years as the organization has pioneered new technologies, partnerships and business models to become a very successful nonprofit social enterprise with diversified support. This allows us to continue to innovate new projects and programs all over the world. We have an impact on real people and partner with exceptional NGOs in 60 countries. For me, this visionary leadership takes place in tandem with a caring management style and a thriving and open staff culture in which not only are professional accomplishments recognized, but personal pursuits outside of work - family, sports, art, music, film, theater - are celebrated as well. I feel that I'm part of a team, have the flexibility to evolve my duties as needed, and am appreciated for my work.

      Cons

      The biggest con is the cost of living in San Francisco and the Bay Area. Unfortunately, it's bad, and getting worse.

      Terrible leadership

      Pros

      Engaged, diverse staff. New ideas are encouraged. Good central location in Soma.

      Cons

      No top-down unified vision from senior leadership. Internal communication is terrible. Most managers are either checked out, unqualified, or not empowered. Emphasis is on the "next big thing" and not on improving current systems.

      Everyone knows how to manage a nonprofit social enterprise (not!)

      Pros

      • 29 years of innovating at the edge of nonprofits and technology • blend of social enterprise and passion for mission • culture of mutual respect • a lot of humor • constant positive feedback from the people and orgs we serve • sustainable (no small thing in today's nonprofit space) • successful, creative pivoting of business model in the face of evolving technology (from desktop software to the cloud) which directly impacted previous model • active concern for staff's career advancement and health • quite excellent pay and benefits in nonprofit context

      Cons

      It can be a confusing place. It's big for a nonprofit and because there is so much process and so many people touch decisions, sometimes we don't move as quickly as we'd like. For ten years we had co-CEOs and then we had 3-EOs. Quite a few people found the lack of a single leader a negative (although others liked the diversity of our CEO team). Now we have a single, very strong-minded CEO, with the plus/minus that goes with that (think: Jobs, Ellison, Bezos etc.)
