Pros

Remote work opportunity with organization.

Cons

This organization stunned me with how they run their HR department. They extend job offers and then rescind them when references don't call back. Even though they have been supplied with other references, they only want specific ones. They are willing to lose out on a qualified candidate because one person won't respond as a reference. Many of the questions they pose during reference checks are inequitable, biased, and make no sense for a FORMER supervisor who has no knowledge of CURRENT skill set. The rigorous interview process should have been sufficient enough to vet experience and talent, not to mention, they could have also assigned a work task to "test out" the skills and abilities of the candidate. I will never refer any organization or person to this organization. I do NOT recommend this place as a place to work...it has red flags all over!

Pros

It is so great to work at a place that puts their time, policies, and money in alignment with their values. This has been one of the best work experiences I've ever had. The staff is is great, people are dedicated, reliable, collaborative, and everyone cares about their work. Senior management is talented, responsible, responsive, and transparent. It has felt like important work to contribute to and a stable place to work. Salaries are fair and in alignment with nonprofit salaries.

Cons

It is a relatively small organization (around 50), so growth in terms of new opportunities, only happens when people leave. Workloads can be heavy and calendars are always full. It has a fast pace.
