Pros

-Great place for motivated advocates to get substantive experience even at early stages in their career, lots of opportunity to craft and drive programming -Dedicated to a partnership approach, to work in solidarity with and support of frontline advocates across the US and globe -Unique opportunities and flexibility for innovation and rapid response to create impact and fill gaps that larger national and international organizations miss

Cons

-When centralized resources spread thin over the multiple program areas, it can feel like a all-hands-on-deck start up (upside as well as downside) -Array of separate programs (multiple small teams) presents challenges for internal communication and coordination given all the independently moving parts -Structure can make long-term internal advancement a challenge, though there is lot of room for increasing levels of autonomy and the work presents excellent networking opportunities, with a strong track record of external advancement starting with Legal Fellows on up.

Pros

- The Business & Human Rights team is filled with a passionate, high-performing, and creative leader who can curate peer forums and investment conferences for meaningful dialogue and connection. - Under the leadership of the Head of Investor Relations, the organization was able to delivered a historic success for the annual summer investor conference — both in reputation and in fundraising impact across the organization. - Mission-driven culture with significant external visibility and opportunity to drive systemic change.

Cons

- The COO lacks the strategic and operational acumen required to support or scale the organization's most impactful investor initiatives. His decision-making often slows momentum and demoralizes staff, especially those driving measurable results. - There is a noticeable disconnect between operations and programmatic work, leading to internal friction and inefficiencies. - Concerns exist internally about financial transparency by the highest-level position of leadership, specifically around discretionary funds. This is an area that merits independent review to ensure donor trust and regulatory compliance. - Underpay and overwork
