Pros

The great thing GOOD has going for it is that they have a lot of amazing, talented people working for them. From writers, designers, partnership managers, and producers, they have dedicated hard working employees that are trying to make a difference in the world.

Cons

The problem with GOOD is that the management has NO value for their talent. They treat people like disposable commodities, and fire people under the veil of 'oh, we're restructuring', all the time. Just this year they have gone through 3 restructures of the company - letting go talent left and right. Due to the constant cycling through of talent - projects often fall behind, they hire unqualified 'friends', and expect the few talented people they do keep on to do the work of everyone they let go. Additionally, the management sell out all the time - relying on the sponsored content model to create revenue, instead of traditional ad sales. This means they are creating content that is paid for by big corporations and presented as 'journalism'. In my opinion, that walks a very fine ethical line.

Pros

The organization offers genuinely interesting work, especially around its social impact initiatives. Many team members were passionate and mission-driven, which made the work feel rewarding.

Cons

Because the company was still relatively small when I worked there, it lacked structure and well-defined processes. Priorities shifted often, communication wasn’t always clear, and the overall environment could feel messy and disorganized. A lot of time went into figuring things out rather than having systems in place to support the work.
