Vantaggi

- Fantastic reputation for quality, independent research. Ranked the #1 environmental think tank. - Extremely intelligent program staff, well respected, and supportive of junior staff - Good work culture, flexibility - Great tuition benefits, supportive of further education - Very international (~15% staff are international). The only think tank I know of that sponsors work visas for all levels of employees, ensuring that they do hire the best possible person for the job, and are genuinely a global organization.

Svantaggi

- Salaries are not competitive - Far too many administrative staff (fundraising, communications, etc.) who don't provide much value to the program staff, and result in a very high overhead. - Tendency to hire overqualified (masters level) candidates for entry level positions, which can lead to frustration

Vantaggi

Mission-driven work - Smart , friendly and passionate colleagues - Global impact - Collaborative culture - Strong reputation — Flexible / progressive work environment - Innovation-oriented Diverse international perspective A leadership that cares: the global leadership stepped in when U.S. funding was unexpectedly canceled, providing financial support for several programs for a few months to give teams time to secure new funding sources.

Svantaggi

Resource constraints affecting efficiency: working with limited staffing and budgets sometimes made it challenging to execute projects efficiently Compensation compared to the private sector: salaries are noticeably lower than for private-sector roles, which is especially challenging in a city like NYC. Project direction influenced by funding priorities: I noticed that donor and grant priorities often shaped the direction of projects. Career progression tied to funding cycles: advancement opportunities often depended on program funding rather than purely on performance.
