Pros

The mission of improving the lives of low-income people Great (underutilized) board The CEO is a visionary The focus on and belief in the public sector is unique in the philanthropic space

Cons

Indecisive leadership Consensus culture often grinds forward momentum to a halt Too much time spent on process instead of doing the work Too many meetings Treats junior staff like children. Management pretends to give junior staff but is overprotective and micromanages
