Pros

Great people, good benefits, hybrid work

Cons

Performative leaders. Staff are overworked and still asked to do more. A significant number of staff have left in the last 6 months. Leadership is trying to spin it but staff morale is very low.

Business Outlook

Pros

- working alongside other queer people and allies - the mission - lots of learning/development opportunities (not necessarily in the sense of moving up, but in education and skill building)

Cons

- lack of transparency and accountability from senior leaders - no succession planning which means you don't know if or how you may be able to grow within the org - salaries for staff (especially junior level)
