Pros

Flexible work schedule Fair Pay Lots of room for creativity in programming Amazing dedication to mission on all levels

Cons

Feast or famine programming Must be able to work alone in an office (may be a pro for some) Constant change in leadership Lacking in planning, job security is shaky Glass ceiling for promotion of minorities (the higher up you go, the less diversity you see) Focus too much on attainment of minorities, no leadership level process for retention
