Pros

Supportive leaders with the incentives and resources to help us succeed. Talented and dedicated coworkers who believe in the causes we fund. Everyone is focused on being a humble, courageous and collaborative teammate across the organization

Cons

I’m not sure this is a con but I guess sometimes it’s challenging to work for an organization at this stage of their development. For me, it’s a chance to build something while trying to be present in moments when my vision or working style might be different from a coworker’s.

We are happy that you are having a positive experience. As a young philanthropic organization, there is ambiguity and change as we build out our roadmap, but that’s what makes CZI unique and exciting! We are pleased that you embrace this opportunity to foster growth, and appreciate you sharing.

Pros

I couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend a meaningful chapter of my career. Intelligent, mission-driven, low-ego colleagues, inspiring work, and many opportunities to learn and grow. It’s also one of the few places I’ve worked where you don’t have to trade off between enjoying the work, good compensation, and a healthy work-life balance. Even having been impacted by layoffs, I remain very grateful for the experience.

Cons

Increase volatility in recent years with restructuring. Hopefully things settle with clearer strategic direction in place.

Pros

Lots of smart people to work with and learn from. Onsite office is great.

Cons

Leadership and middle management will do anything to make themselves look good to c-levels , will go as far as taking credit for work not done by them. Every 3-4 months for years and prior to me working there, org goals change at a dime with no heads up and expectations are to perform excellently.
