Pros

As with most work environments, you meet a lot of really quality people, looking to make a positive impact.

Cons

Leadership has created a hostile work environment and the most toxic company culture I have personally witnessed. This is an incredibly high turnover position because of 2 main reasons: 1) you work the expected, but insane weekly hours for no additional OT and suffer from burnout or 2) the CEO doesn’t like something about you (look/smell/color/etc.) and you get fired. The CEO talks negatively behind the backs of co-workers (including those in leadership positions) to other co-workers. She has filled the BoD with friends, making her essentially out of control and also fully protected. I can go on and on. The organization got to where it is today with her help, no doubt about it. But they will fail in the steps to come unless they make that change.

Pros

- Mission-Driven Work: The company does incredible things for humanity, making the work deeply meaningful and rewarding. - Remote Work & Flexibility: Offers excellent remote work options and the day-to-day flexibility to complete tasks on your own schedule.

Cons

- Little to no room for growth or career advancement plan. In the entire time I was there, not one person from my department was promoted, on the contrary, the company had 3 layoffs in the few years that I was there. - Voluntold Culture: While attendance at company events is framed as "voluntary," there is strong management pressure to attend. Declining invitations noticeably impacts your day to day worklife. -Expect frequent, sudden shifts in priorities. If an urgent issue pops up, you are required to drop everything instantly and pivot at lightning speed. - Lots of back and forth with editing. Unsure of who trumps who with seniority or accuracy. - Funding is highly unstable and constantly fluctuating, resulting in an extreme lack of resources and budget.
