Pros

- A great and diverse team, motivated by the organization's mission and always willing to give a little extra. - The work environment is quite flexible and modern, meaning there is great potential to do good work without the constraints of your average NGO.

Cons

- Poor leadership team (particularly those at the highest level) that cannot strategize and articulate effectively what is the value add of this organization in an already crowded sector, creating major systemic issues internally. - Very disorganized, leading to rushed work and heavy deadlines that impact work-life balance.

Pros

Visionary ambitions on improving food systems

Cons

Not any "real" work, mostly networking and PR, like ask yourself "what do EAT actually do?" Toxic work environment with extremely high turnover Leadership and Founder highly incompetent in driving organizational development Founder toxic bully, using her power to silence everyone. Everyone knows who is really in charge No transparency in hiring processes, in decision making, and extremely top-down MeToo-episodes, low level of psychological safety, and sexual approach used to acquire advisors If you ask questions, you are silenced, bullied to silence and part of out-group This has happened since the inception in 2013

Pros

Punches way above its weight class. Extensive network.

Cons

Slighlty underfunded, resulting in short contracts, potentially leading to some of the negative press. Understaffed, resulting in too little communication now and then.
