Pros

TFP has a great, important mission and they get that the underlying problem for so many of our world's problems is education--the fact that we're not equipping young people with the skills they need to thrive in this day and age. This is a dynamic, energetic workplace where you'll find lots of opportunities to work on new things, lead projects, learn, and grow.

Cons

It's still a bit of a startup, and the flip side of their ambitions mission is that they sometimes overcommit or are overambitious. So you have to be ready for a fast-paced, fast-moving, constantly adapting plan.

Pros

This is one of the most special places I have ever encountered in my long career. This is for a few reasons: - extraordinary people, full of ideas, passion, and love - a very special and creative culture - a special and unusual belief in young people and the mission - a true commitment to ensuring that the program is excellent and serves true needs - management that actually cares about people - incredible advisors and funders

Cons

There is still so much to figure out, and, in the many years I worked at TFP, there were new questions everyday. Some of those... we should have just answered. Others, it is amazing that the leaders are willing to still question. I hope they always will.

Pros

The Future Project is an organization that uplifts communities across the country while creating space for staff to pursue their dreams as well. The flexibility to design your schedule so that you maximize productivity, opportunity to learn and grow across teams, and open office hours with the co-founders to address present concerns are a few reasons I enjoy working here. The team is also incredible!

Cons

This place is not a good fit if you often need help or ask questions, complain, lack ambition, not a self-starter or need a lot of structure. If you ask questions more than you seek to find answers this place isn't for you. You must be a creative who can propose ideas frequently, or you will have a challenging time.
