Pros

I have rarely had the pleasure of working with such HUMAN colleagues. I am a relatively new employee, but many of us are, however, this doesn't change the fact that I have been met with nothing but help, support, and a willingness to listen that I haven't found elsewhere. Is it busy? Absolutely. Was I thrown immediately into the fire? Basically. Is there any other way than to jump in with two feet? Not in my world.

Cons

Still looking for the real downsides. From what I can see, the challenges here are the same as in many non-profits: restricted access to funds, more work than there are bodies, and politics around who gets access to funding. Sounds like almost every company everywhere.
