Pros

It's a small team of people who are smart and motivated. It is a supportive and friendly place to work and volunteers work on projects that they pick. You can gain skills here since they are supportive of training and have a large number of experts who advise. The people who choose to work or volunteer here are really nice. You also get to meet some terrific local nonprofits. Volunteers can work virtually or come into the office. The office space is new and nice.

Cons

Limited resources as a nonprofit. Getting there is a bit difficult if you don't have a car. It is in Redwood shores, near Oracle.

Pros

Since there are few employees, your work is never superfluous - you are completing tasks instrumental to the nonprofit and have the opportunity to take on and contribute to significant projects. Supervisor was encouraging, receptive, and made sure I was doing work that mattered.

Cons

The majority of employees are remote, many overseas. This can make communication difficult because of the many different time zones. The CEO isn't great about respecting the boundary between being in and out of the office. Since many employees work at home anyways, it's not unusual to get a Slack message after your normal hours being asked to complete something. High turnover rate. Few employees are in paid positions. Many employees are working positions that should be paid, but given their visa status, they are doing the work as unpaid volunteers to gain experience. Yet many of these volunteers already had credible job experience and it seemed they should have been receiving some sort of compensation for the hard work that they did (ie getting hired after work visas come through or not being expected to work on off hours)
