Pros

The work of the foundation is timely, relevant, and intersects with many of today's most pressing challenges -- democracy, journalism, social media, the arts, and more.

Cons

We're always supporting those doing the work, not doing the work ourselves.

Pros

-Knight Foundation has an incredible ability to attract smart, dedicated, interesting people, who come from a variety of professional and personal backgrounds. -The work itself is inspirational, and gives you an ability to have an impact almost regardless of where you are in the organization. -There is no better place to build a network in any of the communities or program areas where Knight is active. -Your Twitter followers will likely increase dramatically.

Cons

There is a lot of hierarchy for a relatively small organization (Board>President>VP>Director>Associate) . While Knight is open to new ideas as an organization, there is not a lot of internal mobility, so you should go in understanding exactly what to expect for your role and be sure you are comfortable with that role.
