Pros

* Amazing benefits * Org is making a difference in the world * Tons of people have been here for years, not a lot of turnover * Travel 2x a year to San Francisco or nearby area for all staff retreats and in town week. It's a fun group of people to be with! * In my position there is a good work life balance. I'm not working extra hours and can take PTO easily. People feel comfortable taking time to go to doctors appointments during the day. * room for growth - I got a promotion and have had the opportunity to take a few classes on new skills *diverse employees, culture is welcoming

Cons

* Change happens slowly *Hard to know who the decision maker is on something, people aren't empowered to make decisions. It's hard to reach consensus.

Pros

Overall, great organization to work.

Cons

They grew a lot in a short period of time and struggled with how to adapt, communicate, and manage the growth. Management was chaotic and unsupportive.
