Pros
-Since the organization is small, most employees get the chance work real, high level policymakers. -The projects that come through the pipeline are exciting and full of potential. -Some of their best events bring in big thinkers with great ideas.
Cons
-The CEO dislikes "negative" influences among senior staff, so strong-willed independent employees are more likely to toil in middling positions. -Employees are expected to accept whatever workloads are offered and make it work. That may not seem like a big issue, but a) this organization hires mostly very young employees who do not know themselves well enough to say "no" or "I need help" on a project b) a sprawling mission leaves staff spread thinly on many surface-level projects. A lot of talented staff left because they didn't feel like they were being used well, or that they had no opportunity to add value.
