Pros

In my view WRI is the world's leading environmental think tank. The staff are top of their respective fields, the management is dynamic, and I personally feel great pride in having shared a portion of my professional life with such dedicated and intelligent colleagues.

Cons

The workload is heavy, the stress of working for a non-profit can be high, and the travel schedule can be brutal if not managed properly.

Pros

mission driven org, chances to work on different projects and interact with colleagues with diverse backgrounds good benefits including paid time off and healthcare coverage. etc. a place you can do something influential and make real impacts if you have the expertises and the will/ambition

Cons

WRI is still maturing and I would say the Hr doesn't funtion as it suppose to be. it's a bit messy within the org when it comes to responsiblity assignment, performance based valuation on lower level. more senior level management is fine

Pros

Lots of great people, doing fantastic important work. Lots of growth, and I anticipate this will continue due to the increased attention the issues they are dealing with is receiving.

Cons

It's difficult to figure out what's going on in other departments and even sometimes in your own department if it's a large one.
