Pros
There are amazingly smart and talented individuals all around, especially mid-management and below (who will probably not stick around). Mission is important. Benefits are very good.
Cons
Top heavy leadership keeps growing. So do their salaries and enormous bonuses (publicly available on their 990). Meanwhile, people doing the work aren’t rewarded. Salaries stagnant, bonuses small, no room for career growth at all, and now they are making performance reviews even harder for people to “pass” (starting now for this past year’s performance, without any notice!) so they can give even less to hardworking people. Told to keep dept. budgets as small as possible so leadership can keep padding their wallets. They refuse to promote from within. They will only hire externally, often so they can hire their friends. Zero tact or consideration after layoffs and restructuring occurs. Will laugh and make jokes like it’s nothing. If they restructure and announce that, expect it to change 5 more times and never know what is really happening or when. A job will be posted as “director” and then oops, they join as a VP 🤔 Never expect honesty or your feedback to be considered. Plus the laziest, more negligent workers will continue on through layoffs and may even get rewarded. This place has changed. Steer clear.
