Pros

1- A place with a unique mission and real meaning for what you do. if you care to have a job and meaningful mission in one package, it's the right choice for you. 2- Great people to work with, co-operative with positive thinking towards the objectives. 3- Transparency across organization levels that help you know really what is going on and what is the priorities you need to focus on to achieve the objectives at each phase. 4- Exposure to high diversity working with people from different cultures and countries. 5- Flexible working hours and working from home options. 6- Highly competitive salaries compared to the market range.

Cons

The same challenges any start-up organization face: 1- Stress/workload. 2- High rate of changes. However, this should be taken already in your consideration when accepting the challenge, it’s not easy to build an organization with unique vision from scratch but when you think about how rewarding this could be, it’s worthy.

Pros

I have been in higher education for more than 20 years but working with a team that is absolutely global has given me the knowledge, expertise, and context that no other higher education institution or academic project has. I get to work with people from around the world that come from all over the world! From Poland to Bermuda to Egypt to Ireland and of course, the United States, Europe, Africa, the Philippines and hey, even the Americas. Nexford serves its mission internally by enabling its global workforce to form part of the design and launch of the first Next Gen University in the world and in doing so, we have improved many lives and bettered many societies. Nexford teaches me a new lesson every day, both personal and professional. And of course, you don't get to build a university from the scratch every day so this boot camp has been the most rewarding experience thus far. Keep it coming, NXU!

Cons

Hard work, work hard..but also play harder! The launch of an American Online University around the globe is not easy--requires lots of commitment, lots of resilience, lots of empathy, and most importantly, lots of patience. We have made many accomplishments in record time but it has been exhausting. We constantly have to remind ourselves to take a break or we can get carried away. The excitement of the organization can absorb you and finding the work/life balance is often challenging.
