Vantaggi
I met some very good people there. I met some "real" people there. They were earnest and devoted to their jobs. They were kind to each other and believed in the mission of the organization--which is a good one. They believe in a reasonable work-life balance and everyone chipped in to make the events a success--and they always were. There are some talented people there.
Svantaggi
What seems at first to be an affirming and supportive environment for women in an office that is roughly 90% women is, instead, one of the most passive-aggressive places I've ever worked. The only thing real there is the need for the heads of departments to control their fiefdoms. There was not a lot of trust there. The place is like Italy before it unified.
