Pros

If you're fortunate, the CEO and management will decide to favor you and push through projects that can significantly build your resume. However, this has very little to do with the quality of work you actually put out and just whether or not you've been #blessed that week or month.

Cons

Where can I even begin? I was a fresh young employee eager to please and DS was by far the worst experience of my professional life. I work for one of the most competitive global corporations in the world and have Fortune 500 CEOs as my clients and not a single professional experience has since come close to the debilitating pressure and brutal backstabbing that I experienced during Do Something. Although it was quite a few years ago, I feel compelled to comment on my experience in the way that abuse victims recognize that what happened to them was truly Not Okay. It was Not Okay to treat me, or any number of the employees DS has churned through, in the manner it did and apparently continues to do so. High pressure environment that encourages childish behavior. Totally unchecked, unprofessional feedback mechanisms. Totally unrealistic work streams and absurd project management tactics. For a company that purports to help the world and others it is remarkably self-serving and routinely abuses the young people who work for the organization.

Pros

I worked alongside a great team that drove content, marketing, and public relations for the company while also, cross-collaborating with development, product & engineering, and programming & impact. The small but mighty team worked hard to execute and deliver the work under tough deadlines and also respected honest feedback and work-life balance.

Cons

You wear many hats with little to no recognition. It is tough to work in an environment where leadership does not take accountability for mismanagement, unrealistic deadlines, and a culture that struggles to implement DEI internally. Burn-out is to be expected.
