Pros

The workplace is amazing and passion that most people bring there is something one cannot find elsewhere.The work load as its own high and low tides sometimes you get feel overloaded and other times you have nothing to do.there are people here who have been with the org 20 +years.Greenpeace is not your 9-5 job.. its a passion that u commit to and u live with it.

Cons

Its not everyone's cup of tea..if u cant fit urself with the three months, then its time for you to move on. Different country offices have different work style and culture.
