      Pros

      -No workplace is perfect. What I like about this organization is that people here and leadership are always at least trying to do better and improve. If processes are not working, it's often discussed and recalibrated. -Access to different opportunities (PD, working on different teams, cross-org project). If you work smartly, you can utilize these to advance your career in unexpected ways -Colleagues are truly exceptional. I've never worked at a place with such positive peer-to-peer relationships -Best work-life balance I have ever had

      Cons

      -Some top-down decisions could better communicated, I agree. Sometimes the rationale of certain policies etc. are not always well communicated to staff. -I'm sorry to read the experience of the individual who identifies as BIPOC below. Clearly there is some work to do at this organization if an individual felt this way. Not to negate their experiences, but as a BIPOC individual myself I have always felt heard and supported - at least on my own team.
