      Pros

      WRI has interesting, mission-driven work and smart, dedicated employees. The work environment is a key reason I've worked here for 10+ years.

      Cons

      I wish that we offered higher starting salaries for junior and mid-level manager positions, as I know many who have taken a salary cut to work here. The silver lining is that at junior levels , promotions can happen each year if you perform well. Senior positions are more well-compensated.

      Pros

      Dedicated, passionate, and super-smart colleagues.

      Cons

      Senior management's inability to make decisions, disregard for how significantly delaying or changing decisions impacts others charged with executing those decisions, lack of transparency at the top - particularly around how money gets dispersed. Zero career path for anyone coming in at lower levels - WRI much prefers to hire from outside rather than giving opportunities to hard workers internally. Senior managers and Executive leadership are committed more to their ego than being effective managers. Some teams are better than others in terms of work-life balance - you are very silo-ed depending on which program or ops team you're on.
