Pros
I think the phrase "more than a job" can be accurately applied to work at The Good Food Institute. As a member of this cohesive, highly motivated, highly qualified, and incredibly positive and energetic team, employees are given opportunities to play an active role in defining the scope of their work while using their personal passions and skills to further the organization's overall mission. The work is dynamic, exciting, challenging, and high-impact. If you care about changing the food system for the better, it's impossible not to be excited about GFI's mission. Both the day-to-day experience of working remotely in collaboration with this team, and the rewarding nature of the overall mission are huge positives about working with this organization. Management is supportive, accessible, and communicative. Employees are recognized for the unique contributions they bring.
Cons
Given the ambitious scope, it can be difficult not to continue taking on tasks and projects indefinitely. This problem is compounded by the nature of remote work, which doesn't come with standard boundaries. To avoid burnout, you have to be skillful at setting reasonable boundaries.
