Pros

The colleagues you work with are the best part of this organization. You'll work with some of the most passionate and hard working people you could ever come across.

Cons

The mission is where it ends. This organization doesn't practice what it preaches. The institution is very backwards and outdated. White male privledge is prevalent amongst leadership and it shows in their decisions. As a mid level employee you will have your ideas recycled as theirs and get no credit. Just look at the website to get an idea of how confusing they are. They're just as confused internally. I have six years web experience and the person/ team charged to revamp the website is called the "framechange" team and is lead by someone with no web experience. You can't have someone making decisions without the experience and knowledge to back it up. You're constantly pulled into multiple projects regardless of your skills and experience so nothing is ever done with expertise. The finances are shady and while most people at the company are honest there are a lot of shady practices at a high level which trickle down and create a very negative experience for those who are hard working.

Pros

some staff can work remotely

Cons

at the end of the day they don't treat their employees well. They exploit the fact they are mission based over work and under pay their employees and the worst part is they don't even have any professional development or any infrastructure. expect to work 60 plus hours a week with a salary at what's below minimum wage and having to work on all federal holidays

Pros

Incredible brilliant colleagues, most people there have a big heart and want to better the world.

Cons

Employees feel overworked, without much support from leadership and we are paid under the market rate. Doesn't have an operationalized vision and theory of change.
