Pros

Great mission- helping people at scale

Cons

The organisation has a highly political, visibility-driven culture where upward management is often rewarded over delivery, accountability is blurred by a complex matrix structure, decision-making relies heavily on consensus rather than clear leadership, and commercial priorities can be overshadowed by internal stakeholder dynamics

Pros

Good benefits, company matching for 401k

Cons

Toxic work environment where we are required to work overtime to meet project deadlines but are not compensated fairly. Bonuses are not always paid out even for stellar performance.
