      Lucky to be here! Amazing place to work; non-profit with startup vibe

      Pros

      Our founders have created something wonderful -- a company with an inclusive culture, full of smart and motivated employees who work hard to fulfill our mission. The Org is run like a tech start up but it's non profit so the fun parts are there, without the pressure to meet sales goals. Instead we focus on making an impact for the 1 in 5 who learn & think differently. Work/life balance is a real priority, competitive salaries, amazing benefits & PTO. I feel lucky & proud to work here every single day.

      Cons

      If you're used to for-profit (my experience), you'll appreciate the do-good aspect & work/life balance while still working at pace & being challenged. I imagine a transition from nonprofit could be somewhat challenging, b/c I understand the biz operates differently (more like a startup). We do have required in-office in NY 2 days/week which isn't for everyone (but office is gorgeous). No major red flags from my perspective.

      Cons

      Could be more diverse in talent.
