Pros
Friendly coworkers who seemed to have an interest in you
Cons
This is one of the worst places I have ever worked. From an out-of-touch, self important CEO/Founder who, despite his rhetoric about innovation refuses to innovate in any way, shape or form, to a bureaucracy that makes it take 2-4 weeks to get things like email accounts set-up, Ashoka is a nightmare of a place to work if you actually care. Many of the higher-up employees and managers seem to care about their jobs rather than making actual progress or telling the CEO when he is wrong (which he is continually). Compounding this situation is the micromanagement from people at the top, who want to micromanage even the most mundane of tasks. But the issue is that their micromanagement seldom makes sense logically, in terms of efficiency, and does not even reflect standard non-profit best practices. The only way Ahoka can be the organization it should be is by ditching its founder or standing up to him to end the soul crushing founderitis.
