Pros

Fabulous co-workers; remote work; mission-based (or, used to be)

Cons

Senior Leadership (CEO and new COO) have no vision or ability to lead this nonprofit and have run it into the ground. If not for a large grant made years ago by McKenzie Scott and good fundraising efforts from previous legacy organizations Candid would already be defunct. Candid can't figure out if it's a technology company or a nonprofit and they're doing a really poor job at both right now.

Pros

Good mission, incredible staff, kind people. Pay is solid for the nonprofit world, and benefits are excellent.

Cons

Terrible leadership at the top level, largely stemming from CEO who lacks vision, micromanages, and creates chaos and a toxic environment, under which our work gets delayed and our revenue continues to struggle.
