Pros

Benefits are excellent (currently they contribute 12% non-matched to your retirement after 2 years). Coworkers are generally very intelligent and easy to get along with (there are exceptions to that though). The organization's business model will be transitioning greatly within the next 5-10 years because of the open data phenomenon, but senior management knows this and is very forward thinking. The organization provides valuable services to the sector and is dedicated to openness and transparency.

Cons

Not much room for advancement in the current structure. The work in data (which I currently do) can be mind-numbingly boring and not challenging at all. In other departments though, the work can be varied and interesting.

Pros

Great resources, solid product offerings, lots of potential, poorly managed. Low-stress environment. Unclear where the organization is going and what folks at the top do.

Cons

Poorly managed. Too many managers at the top, not enough worker bees, so you end up having to do three jobs for same salary.

Get to work with some really smart people working hard to shed light on giving ttends in philanthropy.

Cons

Total lack of transparency from the senior leadership. Inhumane approach to firing staff without cause or warning.
