Pros

Great benefits package and generally speaking, the people are awesome to work with. Easy to access by public transportation and not hampered by a lot of traffic unless it's General Assembly season.

Cons

The rules are too rigid and do nothing to help career advancement. In an organization that is supposed to value communication and diversity of ideas, it's pretty monotonous and not a lot of opportunities for creative people like designers or content creators. Those that hold these positions are stuck in the ways things were done when they joined the organization.

Pros

Great multicultural environment with people from all over the world, which creates a very enriching and inclusive atmosphere. Everyone is punctual and colleagues are very chill and easy to work with. The diversity of backgrounds makes collaboration genuinely enjoyable.

Cons

Very resistant to change and innovation. The organization tends to stick to old processes and is reluctant to adopt new technologies or modern approaches. Progress and improvements move extremely slowly, which can be frustrating for those looking to make an impact. its also unpaid which sucks
