Pros
Global Zero is a great non-profit to work for in DC policy and advocacy space, especially if you are passionate about its issue area. The team is small, and the work changes frequently to adapt to shifting environments and opportunities. This can sometimes be stressful and challenging, but it is also frequently rewarding and gives a lot of space for new ideas. - Get your hands in a lot of pies, master new skills, and learn more about a fascinating and important issue - Excellent benefits contribute to good work/life balance despite periods of intensity around specific projects - Even beyond the generous benefits, you can expect compassion and flexibility when life throws you a curve ball (i.e. family emergencies, medical procedures)
Cons
- Slow to hire/replace departing team members, which can stretch staff too thin - Sometimes difficult to work on long-term vision or projects because of short-term needs
