      Pros

      The mission of the foundation is one that makes you proud to come to work every day. That coupled with an amazing facility to work in and smart, caring coworkers, make it a great place to work.

      Cons

      Opportunities for advancement are far and few between. It isn't impossible but it not only takes hard work but you need the good fortune of a manager who cares about your career. Not everyone finds themselves in this fortunate situation.

      Thanks so much for your review. I appreciate your advice to management. As a matter of fact, we now have dual career paths; one for technical experts without management requirements and the other for individuals that thrive on managing and building great teams. We need both at the foundation and I appreciate your comments.
