Pros

I loved the vast majority of my colleagues here - hard-working folks who are in it for the mission of improving schools for historically underserved students. There was a spirit of innovation and creativity that was exciting to be part of.

Cons

Leadership back then brought a lot of hierarchy from academic institutions into this non-profit. Ultimately, practitioners were not as respected as the scholars. These days, there is new leadership and I am not there anymore. I hear it's a much more corporate culture, more interest in securing large grants than doing innovative work. But don't take my word for it - this is just second-hand.
