Pros

The Nature Conservancy runs highly functionally and compensates employees very well. In addition, there are many opportunities for career advancement, albeit sometimes unclear ones. Many very bright people who complete their job well. The work of TNC is significant and impactful.

Cons

To me work life balance seemed strained. All of my team members were signing off late and stressed out. Moreover, the team leads set an intense culture of perfectionism and micro management. Throughout the organization there was a general sentiment of protection of reputation at all costs. There was no leadership from the top on equity. Internal communication was frequently disjointed and unclear.

Pros

Some incredibly kind, smart, and passionate employees. Above average pay for a non-profit (could be better), fulfilling mission, great benefits (healthcare, PTO, 8% 401k match)

Cons

The higher up you go in the org, the worse it gets. Executive leadership is abysmal and they completely eroded trust in their ability to lead. Most of the C-suite needs to be replaced with people with higher EQ. Marketing in particular has an extremely toxic corporate culture that’s become immensely worse in the past 3-5 years. Layoffs were never a common occurrence, but in the last couple years, they happen with no rhyme or reason and those exact roles that were eliminated are seemingly reposted just mere weeks after folks are pushed out. Beware of what team you’re joining. It’s a mixed bag. Some amazing teams with incredible leadership, and some not.
