Pros
Working on climate change in cities. Salaries are competitive for a nonprofit, most staff really care about what they do and want to collaborate. There’s a relatively horizontal working structure and good support for remote working.
Cons
The leadership team doesn’t seem to have done much to address big issues related to funding and staffing over the past year and everything is left to the last minute. Lots of staff on temp contracts (6-12 months), with inconsistent professional development opportunities and no movement within the pay band even though there's a large gap between bands. Difficulty retaining talent and there’s an attitude that it's easy to just find someone else. Slow progress on diversity and wellbeing asks from staff. Unfortunately problematic behaviour is often ignored. Many people are overworked and experience burnout.
