Vantaggi
Flexible work-life. Ability to work fully remotely or go into offices in Boston and SF.
Most middle managers are strong leaders and there are a number of brilliant directors (under middle managers) across the org, who bring critical subject matter expertise and drive strategy development.
Svantaggi
Senior management lacks vision, creativity, and communication skills to lead organization through politically challenging times. Most senior leaders have been at the org for 10+ years and lack the financial background to steer strategy development and speak to the firm's tagline: "sustainability is the bottom line."
Fail to invest in talent, both through salaries and training.
