Pros

We had a great team working together, co-operating on tasks and could always discuss our different opinions on how to solve something to get the best result. A very interesting organisation to work for.

Cons

It can sometimes be a bit depressing to hear about how we pollute the world. Although Greenpeace is fighting to make a change, it made me feel that there will be too little time to turn the pollution and climate change around. As a developer there were not much career opportunities. But those are the bad things I can come up with from my perspective.
