Pros
The team is increasingly diverse and fully dedicated to its mission, and there is a feeling of being part of a movement to save journalism and save democracy. The work feels important and the team feels inspired. There has been a lot of hard work around creating more diversity, equity and inclusion and an admirable attention by the whole team to a culture that allows people to feel like they belong.
Cons
The dramatic growth of this organization has definitely made it a place where people work hard, and are driven by their own sense of purpose but also by a leadership team that demands a lot. That can present challenges around burnout.
