      Business outlook

      Pros

      Strong mission focus, get to work on things that change the world. Some room to innovate and define how that gets done.

      Cons

      A little old school with significant hierarchy in decision making that can make simple decisions more onerous than they should be.

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Knight Foundation compensates their employees well and provides excellent benefits.

      Cons

      Leadership is out of touch with broad social changes. Leadership enables an unhealthy company culture which has lead to high turnover and dysfunctional organizational processes.

      Fascinating place to work

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Wide range of initiatives and opportunities to engage in. Foundation's work has a broad impact and it's funding some important work. Great environment if you are involved/interested in community, journalism and digital media.

      Cons

      Fast paced environment with a often heavy workload driven by deadlines. High visibility (good) but that can expose weak work or skills quickly. Staff is lean and can carry broad range of responsibilities at times. Not all jobs have clear career paths at the foundation due to size and structure.
