Pros

Network opportunities! Because the organization is so large and influential, you connect with people across the city of Boston/Boston region. Also they have good benefits.

Cons

Huge culture of perfectionism and power hoarding, ageism and sexism. There is also an insane amount of turn over because of how toxic the organization is. There is no growth or leadership development , with a hierarchal org structure that stifles creativity, and lacks transparency. Junior staff are treated horribly because managers at this place have no experience actually managing and supporting their subordinates, and the only way you can receive any level of agency and leadership is if your manager isn’t threatened by you. Oh and be prepared to not receive any onboarding support when you start… you’ll just have to figure it out on your own!
