Pros
The staff at the Foundation are great co-workers. It's a fun environment from a personal point of view. Mission is outstanding Very flexible work schedule, in most groups. Fantastic benefits Excellent networking opportunity
Cons
There are some great Directors, but most are poor choices for the job. While programmatic staff are hired for their skill-set, it seems not to be trusted. Often you have to contract a consultant to regurgitate your knowledge for the Director level to accept it. Often it seems that the business side of the operation is more important than solving the Foundation mission. Very poorly developed internal practices, that change often with the fast turnover There's no way to systematically improve your salary or title in a merit driven fashion
