      Pros

      Making scientific research available to all. Engaged and creative staff. Flexible with work from home and remote options. Good benefits. Encourages and enables career development. New CEO is effective and accessible and doing a great job fixing the errors of previous executives.

      Cons

      The culture clash between the traditional publishing industry and scrappy tech industry within the organization can slow decision making and execution. It's tough being a nonprofit in the most expensive city in the US. Some teams need more staff.
