Pros

I had the opportunity to meet and work with some really interesting and talented people.

Cons

Pay is well below industry standard (even for other nonprofits). Be prepared to constantly have a carrot dangled in front of your nose and never be rewarded (or even recognized) for your hard work. The CEO praises mediocrity and continually looks the other way when team issues arise, allowing them to persist and get worse. But that's to be expected since most of the teams' cultural issues start with her inability to lead a team and get stuff done. Unless you're a VP, your opinions, ideas, and contributions don't matter.
