Pros

- The mission. This organization isn’t just tackling one of the biggest issues in the world, but is doing so we great commitment and with an eye towards justice and equality. As a person committed to human rights and making a positive impact in this world, I wouldn’t want to have worked anywhere else right after my graduation. - The staff is really passionate about the mission but more than that, I found everyone to be really kind, helpful and cheerful. - The amazing work culture of the office, which is committed to justice, equity and inclusivity.

Cons

- As it is a nonprofit in NYC, office space is a bit limited and there may not be a lot of private space to work. However, they have sufficient communal spaces and possibility to work from home if needed.

Pros

-You can travel to interesting places. -You meet some really wonderful activists from around the country and the world. -Lots of "lower" staff members are friendly and fun to be around. -A good chance to understand and engage with the issues surrounding the work and mission.

Cons

-The leadership in this place (especially on the Programs side) is like the movie Mean Girls. It's all about preferential treatment, favoritism, and closed-door conversations and decisions. Lots of bullying. No HR dept. to speak of. -Very clear (but unspoken) racism from upper management, as well as lack of respect for younger employees. -People get hired and fired in the place out of the blue and it's demoralizing to the staff. -Lack of equity in terms of benefits. Some people could work from home when they liked, and others did not have this flexibility (even those who need it more). -Too much time planning, too little time implementing. -Senior management disregards deadlines often and demand your flexibility. However, they have the "right" to do whatever they want. They can be 3 hours late to a meeting or reschedule it a fifth time. Your time is not important to them.
