Pros

- impact impact impact! When your energy dips, you remember who you are reaching and pick back up - global, diverse team. I now have buddies in countries all over Africa and have been over to visit more than once - FAST PACED. This nonprofit is more rigorous, focused, and fast moving than the for profit places I've worked. You aren't signing up to snooze or sit on decisions, which was my big fear coming in - very smart coworkers. analytic, well rounded, funny. it's a great crowd. - comp is better than you'd expect and very transparent

Cons

- work creep is an issue. You govern your own hours + PTO, but the engine is always running and it's hard to dip out.
