Pros

Great pay and excellent benefits for the non-profit world. All staff are highly intelligent and competent. Everyone there is great at their job. Senior staff cared about me as a person and my development.

Cons

Sadly, FIRE suffered from some organizational troubles during my time there which left my position almost entirely unmanaged and unremarked. There is very often little feedback on one's work unless it is negative. Female employees often marked down for "having an attitude" when male employees exhibit same behavior and receive no correction. High stress environment: small errors lead to large scoldings. Everything must be perfect or else it is awful.

Pros

I greatly enjoyed my time at FIRE! The undergraduate internship tends to do a good job of exposing people to all of the different areas in which you can work (whether that's in nonprofit management or on the legal side.)

Cons

I think that the program might be stronger if interns could do more substantive legal work.
