Pros

Autonomy, good benefits, flexible work location depending on program

Cons

Each program is responsible for its own fundraising, which leaves employees at the whims of funders. The main Aspen charges each program 18% overhead. Many people in the Finance Department are extremely rude. Programs operate in silos, thus hindering opportunities for deep collaboration.
