Pros
- Really important cause; employees are dedicated to the mission - Highly skilled colleagues - Working here helps your resume a lot if you want to work in sexual and reproductive health - Decent benefits and PTO
Cons
- Lots of hiring from personal networks, which leads to a lack of diversity in many departments - High dependence on expensive consultants for projects/inititiatives instead of growing employee skills, so there is a lot of turnover AND there tends to be a lack of institutional knowledge when creating new projects/initiatives - Dysfunctional management/leadership - Leadership is not held accountable - Management style is fear-based and ego-based - Work-life balance is terrible unless you are a parent, ironically; terrible culture of martyrdom and lack of respect for boundaries and self-care - Oftentimes projects are based on the whims of some senior leaders and staff are not allowed to push back
