      Pros

      Mission is worthwhile, and they've been a part of some interesting work in science Benefits are generous for a non-profit Many co-workers are great, interesting people

      Cons

      Processes and workflows change with management barely communicating that changes are coming. Then, after the fact, there's little training, just "oh well, we changed that." You literally could be using a software tool one day, which IT helped set up, and then the next day it's turned off and another tool is being used. There's always someone new coming in with "new" ideas that are actually the same old ideas. Half of the people have no idea what they are doing, but they are spoon fed by the other half to have basic competency. So ironically, with all the change talk nothing important really changes.

      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.
