Pros

Hands off? If you prefer that.

Cons

This is a fiscal partnership so my specific project ultimately informs my negative experience- however CI did very poorly in mitigating the conditions and experience.

Pros

Working for a well supported nonprofit as CI being the fiscal sponsor. Leaning in a highly trained team to deal with legal, payroll and finances so you can worry about the big stuff

Cons

Hands off with HR unless it’s some compliance issue they need. Very careful about auditors and and not picky about invoicing procedures. Not a very helpful finance team.

Pros

CI has some good people who work there and they are kind. I appreciate the good folks at CI who I was able to work with.

Cons

As with every place you work, there is always a few sour grapes who make life difficult. You might work with 10 people who are outstanding but then there are 1 or 2 people who are just horrible. This is not unique to CI, this is at every job. Some folks are cool and some folks are jerks.
