Pros

Surrounded by intelligent colleagues whom are open to giving interns advice and suggestions. Very well known organization in industry so I was proud to speak of the organization as my internship site.

Cons

No Pay. No positions available in area so its hard to say what the possibilities could've been. Best open opportunities were for either science people or executives but not recent college graduates.

Pros

401k match is better than most in the industry.

Cons

No quantifiable measures of success, therefore no evaluation system for employees/teams. No intra-corp communications/cooperation, therefore no consistent standards, no consistent information sharing, & no career growth opportunities, as each of the 50-100 business units stays busy wasting time & donor mega-dollars reinventing the wheel every day at every location. HQ systems are Stone Age.

Pros

As one of the few large conservation NGOs that does research, there are opportunities to interact and work with brilliant intellectual minds similar to a university but also work on applied real-world conservation issues. Excellent work-life balance (35 hour work week) and support for professional development.

Cons

Frequent restructuring of the central science office results in confusion and sometimes low morale. There was a lack of transparency about salary information but that has changed in the past few years. Some staff express frustration about lack of opportunities to move up in the organization but my experience was there were such opportunities, they just required geographic relocation.
