Pros

Everyone here is legitimately nice and doing their absolute best on a daily basis. Working with world class researchers on interesting topics that help children is a great cause to get you out of bed in the morning. Generous leave policy is notable.

Cons

Benefits are pretty typical, but not above and beyond (except personal leave). Getting started working here is a pain. Extensive/lengthy background check, etc takes at least a month to get started following your last interview. Some employees are remote, but remote hiring has been entirely stopped requiring some employees to come into the office to have zoom calls with their team.

Pros

Some very smart minds working here

Cons

- Extremely toxic work culture - Senior Leadership have no strategy. They chase good PR to the detriment of the health of their teams. - All power stems from the top. It changes like the wind and is not anchored in the mission or evidence. If you are not kowtowing to the leader, you are let go and without any respect to what you have contributed. This can be seen in the C-suite changing constantly over the past year. - Resource allocation prioritizes senior leadership salaries, which negatively impacts delivery of programs and services. This also illustrates to anybody wanting to invest or fund that it is not a good place for ROI. - Extremely high turnover is a reflection of toxic HR and senior leadership.
