Pros

I have been with WRI for nearly a year. I'm part of an extremely supportive team, which makes some of the busier times easier to navigate. Most people in the organization are aligned with and believe in the mission. Benefits are pretty good as well.

Cons

If you're lucky enough to have a good manager/supervisor, then your work environment will be more or less good and conducive to learning. But that's not always the case for many--if you're junior level and good at your job, managers can get comfortable pretty quickly and can hinder your professional growth. There is also the work/life balance issue--many managers don't hesitate to e-mail late in the evening (even well after midnight), and have you work when you're on leave/holiday. Plus, pay for junior staff can be pitiful, and they've made it very hard to negotiate salaries. Junior staff really bear the brunt of the work and are the lifeblood of the organization, but more often than not are not given the appreciation (and compensation) they deserve.
