Pros

autonomy, remote, benevolent mission, community building events

Cons

lack of self-awareness, market, and perspective among leadership that has been there a long time - too long, leadership self-interested and self-protective rather than helping their most promising direct reports to advance and better serve organization; lots of politics - important to stand up for yourself otherwise you'll just get ping-ponged around between large self-important personalities; tendency to reward rosy picture roles rather than those doing the most difficult work - should a highly regulated tax exempt safety net children's hospital really be paying so much for marketing and external affairs? don't just reward the obnoxious people or you'll lose the best people - who's doing the actual work navigating hurdles and preventing reputation damage

Pros

Some talented individual contributors who were easy to work with on a peer level. Occasional exposure to interesting problems.

Cons

Management operated through threats and intimidation rather than constructive leadership. Culture was dog-eat-dog from the top down, with little collaboration across levels. Advice and recommendations from staff were routinely ignored. Decision making was slow and dysfunctional, leadership struggled to get out of its own way on even basic calls.
