Pros
Working closely with human rights activists and investigators at one of the most respected human rights organizations in the world. Gaining substantive and organizational knowledge. Highly mission-driven and principled to a fault. Incredible, at times world-changing, work.
Cons
Management is dysfunctional on many levels. The usual NGO politics and egos. Work culture is highly dependent on the heavily silo-ed divisions. Some are amazing, some are toxic. Extreme naval-gazing. Organization grew (too) quickly and deals each year with difficulties balancing budgets etc. Don't expect growth here without a significant fight.
