Pros

Work life balance is ok. Good location (financial district)

Cons

Well where to begin. The recruiting pitch made this sound like a growing organization with a lot of potential for advancement. Rest assured.. it's not. This organization is severely hampered by the fact that 80% of its core offerings are not really needed by it's members. The only arm of the company that does worthwhile work is lobbying and industry affairs (and this takes place in Washington DC), but other than that folks are just cutting a paycheck. Working environment is extremely unprofessional - i've experienced bullying, gossip, and lack of competence. Do yourself a favor and work somewhere else. This place will set your career back.

Pros

My time at ILPA was incredibly positive. I’ve felt very well supported throughout my role, with managers who not only encouraged me but also actively helped me grow professionally. Their guidance, feedback, and investment in my development gave me the tools and confidence to take on new challenges and strengthen my skill set. There’s been a noticeable shift toward stronger collaboration, clearer communication, and a more positive, inclusive environment overall. Once Jen Choi became the CEO, the workplace culture critiques in past Glassdoor reviews were openly addressed, and genuine change was made, using employee feedback. To her credit as a great CEO, these changes have made it easier to do great work while also feeling genuinely valued as part of the team. Overall, ILPA has been a place where I’ve grown both personally and professionally, and I’m grateful for the opportunities and support I’ve received here.

Cons

I sincerely enjoyed my time at ILPA and do not have anything negative to say.

Pros

- Aspirational organization constantly focused on delivering member value with an increasing emphasis on expanded global impact. - A highly driven environment but accommodates work-life balance that respects personal time while still achieving organizational goals. - A concerted effort placed by leaders on strengthening the organization’s culture and employee experience. - Competitive compensation and benefits package that stands out among peers in the non-profit and trade association sector.

Cons

- Growing pains albeit expected as the organization navigates rapid staff expansion and globalization. - Operational systems and policies that haven't fully caught up with the pace of organizational growth. - Occasional communication challenges and shifting priorities as new initiatives launch simultaneously. - Would benefit from an across the enterprise re-evaluation of team by team operating models to maximize efficiencies.
