Pros

Tremendous mission and a great opportunity to work with people who are inspired by helping others.Relatively family friendly, except during disasters.

Cons

Sadly, they've lost their way. Senior management has clearly circled the wagons. Instead of seeing the need for transparency, they're becoming more and more evasive. After the last 30% staff reduction, some of the most talented people there quit and found other jobs. There's no room for growth, unless you're one of the last ones standing in your department. Nasty, bad behavior (including bullying and excessive spending) exists in certain departments and is apparently not only tolerated but encouraged. The meaner you are, the farther you go--sad, considering the mission.

Pros

Flexible remote hours, supportive team that treats volunteers as contributors rather than interns, and a low-pressure environment

Cons

Tooling is limited compared to corporate environments — primarily Excel-driven, so you won't get exposure to modern BI stacks (Power BI, Tableau, Snowflake) unless you bring them in yourself. Data sources are inconsistent (legacy .xls files, manual exports requiring conversion), so expect clean-up work.
