Pros

They pay well and have great benefits for a nonprofit

Cons

When I started working there in 2019 it was a small, thoughtful, well run org. Very friendly and everyone was very competent. I was very happy for about 3 years and planned to be there forever. Unfortunately the org grew too quickly and brought on people in leadership positions who make decisions that are not mission aligned or productive. TGH has more staff and more money than ever before but they have less graduates (5500 grads in 2019 vs 3800 grads in 2022). I believe it's due to bad decision making. The people making decisions now have no experience with programming, nor do they seek or use data before making decisions that affect all stakeholders. Also, through this very fast growth, the org wasn't able to keep a healthy culture. Within the span of a year it went from a great place to work to really the worse work environment I'd ever been in. I actually consider it very toxic. Multiple employees cried on a regular basis, including myself. I'm sad to see the place in such a state. I would not recommend working there.

Pros

Benefits were above average. Remote work was good. The cause was worthwhile. On-site location was phenomenal. There were opportunities for growth for a while.

Cons

New CEO had no leadership experience, She made poor decisions that ultimately ran the company to the ground as soon as she stepped into the role. Not enough skilled people to run the organization. The company was doomed after the previous CEO and other senior leadership left. No ability to plan and the whole company failed which left everyone with no real direction. She ran every department and led no one. It was horrible at the end.
