Vantaggi
this is a review for the north american office of CDP, which has around 50 employees and is separate from the UK office- which has closer to 150-200 employees. -relatively competitive pay for the nonprofit sector (useless to try and compare to private) -great benefits (24 days vacation, 401k matching, etc) -qualified and passionate workforce - important to note that many of the staff are actually overqualified in education and experience for the work that they do -paid trainings and professional development opportunities for staff
Svantaggi
-potential uncertainty of job status for some that are hired on contracts that are tied to grant funding- this is common in the nonprofit world. -difficulty advancing up the ladder for low-mid level employees- there are a limited number of upper management positions in any small organization that makes it hard to move up. -work culture could be better- work/life balance is not emphasized enough as teams often have to make tight deadlines- which often makes it feel like everyone is overworked.
