Pros

The mission is interesting and exciting. I think it’s the only thing keeping people there.

Cons

It is simply a terrible place to work. Very high stress. Management yells at staff. It is expected that people are always available, regardless of the time of day or weekend and things are always extremely chaotic.

Pros

They pay my salary on time.

Cons

-They are run like grad school. They have you compete against your co-workers for funding, they consider rules and laws as simple impediments to be overcome by capricious edicts, they will treat you like a rented mule if you let them. I have come to the conclusion that senior management cares very little about work conditions or employees, only about the bottom line. This experience has significantly changed my opinion of not-for-profit companies. If you are a researcher looking for an open and collaborative environment with shared goals, I suggest you look elsewhere.
