Business outlook
Pros
As one of the few large conservation NGOs that does research, there are opportunities to interact and work with brilliant intellectual minds similar to a university but also work on applied real-world conservation issues. Excellent work-life balance (35 hour work week) and support for professional development.
Cons
Frequent restructuring of the central science office results in confusion and sometimes low morale. There was a lack of transparency about salary information but that has changed in the past few years. Some staff express frustration about lack of opportunities to move up in the organization but my experience was there were such opportunities, they just required geographic relocation.
