Vantaggi
Very good reputation in the industry, which means you are expected by external stockholders, governmental and corporate officials alike. It is the leader in many areas, including climate, water, forestry etc. It is very strategic in developing its programs and projects, and has achieved real world impacts. The organization has embraced big data and produced a lot of cool visualizations. There are tons of very talented and smart colleagues. Good paid time off - starting from 24 days in the first year and grow to 29 days after 2 or 3 years.
Svantaggi
As the organization grow, its HR lost the caring culture and transit towards a risk control mode. The pay is only around or even slightly below industry average. Many talent colleagues can and have leaved the organization for much more well paid positions elsewhere. Some parts of the organization still suffer from an unfortunate restructuring a few years ago and can't coordinate well internally. Senior management is thinking about doing away the organization sustainability targets the organization set for itself a few years back, because they are too challenging to meet. A big disappointment if it can't walk its talk. General feeling that the very top senior management doesn't listen to input from middle level folks.
