Pros
It's a tremendous honor to work on behalf of such a good mission and a pleasure to work alongside so many smart, dedicated people. The building is beautiful, the benefits are fantastic and the travel opportunities are one of a kind.
Cons
It is incredibly bureaucratic and extremely poorly led at the senior management level. It is far too difficult to get work done. We spend more time talking to each other via powerpoint than focusing on external recipients. Reorganizations are so frequent, it is a long-running internal joke. Most of the leaders who are instituting these reorganization decisions don't know the work because they haven't been there long. Inevitably, these architects leave in two years and the process starts all over again. It's exhausting.
