Pros

For junior/ midlevel ppl who have the ability to interact with partners, great exposure and networking opportunities with recruiters/ reps from great companies. Possible to network with alums, can offer good opportunities. There are always lots of projects so a junior person could take on leadership roles. Some managers are great, good advocate, very flexible/ chill. Casual dress in office everyday. Junior/ midlevel ppl seem to encourage each other to think about their next career steps. Many managers willing to mentor younger staff. If you ar ea junior/ mid level person coming to work here, you should see and use it as an opportunity or stepping stone, don't expect to advance in the long term though.

Cons

Senior Management is totally shut off in their own world - no communication regarding vision and some significant initiatives with rest of company. It sometimes feels like they work at a separate company that happens to be co-locating with the company all the junior and mid-level people work for. Additionally, there have been a couple of initiatives that are announced and then nothing comes of them, or are very slow or bungled. The senior level as a whole takes too much on instead of doing a few things right, and it's hard to take seriously. Hiring has been very slow, and when there's a vacancy everyone else is left to suffer.

Pros

They hire talented people who care.

Cons

People starved for recognition resulting in overworked staff. Always demanding more without giving credit and appropriate rewards/pay for contributions made.

Pros

Critical mission of supporting people of color through important career milestones - meaningful, timely, the right thing to do. Small enough you have the opportunity to know everyone pretty quickly. People are genuinely friendly and want to love where they work. The impact staff have on individuals is inspiring. Awesome organization if you are the right fit.

Cons

The culture can get in the way of staff feeling valued. I've heard it referred to as an "old boy's network" (quotes because much of the leadership is female) or "founder's syndrome". Due to the understandably lean staffing model, there has previously been little capacity to develop staff which means hiring criteria is usually uniquely complicated and - as it often looks to replicate thinking of existing leadership, can lead to homogeneity and myopic organizational thinking. I understand (funded) efforts have been taken to address staff development since which will hopefully address that professional development concern. Culture as stated is admirable, but there is a question as to whether all staff embody it or have the opportunity to manifest it.
