Vantaggi

Mission. Lack of resource constraints typically encountered working for a non-profit. Extraordinary technical (e.g. programmatic) talent (in contrast to surprisingly weak management talent). Great benefits.

Svantaggi

As an organization and "business" very badly managed -- from strategy to resource allocation to talent management. This arises from (1) having technical experts in senior management positions, and (2) over-conciliatory, consensus-driven, passive-aggressive culture. Where pockets of true management talent exists, it's highly under-utilized. Management decision-making is undisciplined and political, resulting in sub-optimal results.
