Pros

The work, its potential to impact the world, and your colleagues are first-rate. There is a focus on mission and impact that drives everything you do.

Cons

There's an unfortunate premium placed on creative destruction and recent ideas. While the organization can pivot to respond to events, the pace of change (and too-frequent org shifts) can be difficult to navigate.
