Pros

- The employees here are smart and talented. - Great benefits. - The office space is quite impressive.

Cons

- This is an extremely flat organization (which is pretty standard in philanthropy). There is not really a great career trajectory here if you are trying to move up. - Job titles are not reflective of the work and are not consistent across the company. A Program Associate in one department might be doing all admin work, while another Program Associate in another department might be in more of a researcher or analyst role. It depends on the department.

Pros

a lot of resources, does great work, leader in the field, opportunities for travel and funding for professional development and working with amazing people

Cons

for lower level staff or nonprogram staff, the is pretty low compared to what higher level program staff make. additionally, the rules seem to only apply for lower level staff members and there's inconsistency depending on manager. not a lot of mobility opportunities.
