Not great, not terrible.

Pros

Good benefits, flexible PTO. The network offers the greatest value if you put in the work. The programs in local cities are inspiring as well as the people leading the programs on the ground.

Cons

I found the internal culture to be misaligned and more forced than what naturally occurs when employees are happy. For a global company, the business practices are USA standard being most executed decisions are heavily influenced by a white American majority, disorganized, and diplomatically stale. They have a bounty of women on staff and a “diversity" initiative but also tolerance for staff who’ve shown unethical conduct toward women. It's not a great place to work but not terrible short term or if you have no other options and don't mind the stuff mentioned above. Pretty high turnover.
