Pros

Mission driven work with passionate colleagues who are looking to contribute to the same mission. Highly visible profile, interesting and impactful work. Flexible work culture and very friendly to remote workers.

Cons

Right now a difficult time in the industry, and opportunities are shrinking. Pay does not keep up with cost of living. They are currently slashing benefits, which is one of the main reasons to work here. Your experience depends on your team. There is no recourse available for employees with a hostile supervisor. Very hypocritical environment. We really don't do many of the 'best practices' we recommend to clients. Inequitable. You get projects based on who you know. Actively unhelpful HR. EXTREMELY bureaucratic and hierarchical. Decisions are usually made arbitrarily with no input of those under the decision maker in the company hierarchy.
