Pros
A few genuinely kind and supportive people throughout the organization. Exposure to large-scale programs and complex work environments.
Cons
The culture was one of the most challenging aspects of the experience. The environment often felt unsupportive, with many employees appearing disengaged, unhappy, or more focused on criticism than collaboration. Constructive support and mentorship were lacking, and there was a noticeable tendency for issues to be normalized rather than addressed. Leadership seemed aware of morale and culture concerns, but there was little meaningful action taken to improve the environment or retain strong employees. Over time, this appeared to contribute to good people leaving the organization.
