Pros

The company has a great mission and the impact of the work is clear.

Cons

Internally, several executive leaders are dictatorial. I have witnessed several cases of leaders pushing their weight to slience or defame colleagues. Addtionally, some managers take on this approach as well. Your experience with the company depends on the grace/aptitude of your manager. If you happen to run across a poor manager that will be your experience and vs versa. There are little career advancement opportunities. The benefits are subpar.

Pros

Helping homeless and at-risk people find permanent housing and services. Nice colleagues--very motivated people.

Cons

High turn-over. Cliquish upper management. Staff is overworked and understaffed. Expectations of staff to reach unreasonable goals kills enthusiasm. Upper management quick to throw others under the bus to protect their positions. Company has lost its vision to help at-risk and homeless people in order to concentrate on earning fees to manage other developers' projects. Management believes its own hype.
