Pros

Since there are few employees, your work is never superfluous - you are completing tasks instrumental to the nonprofit and have the opportunity to take on and contribute to significant projects. Supervisor was encouraging, receptive, and made sure I was doing work that mattered.

Cons

The majority of employees are remote, many overseas. This can make communication difficult because of the many different time zones. The CEO isn't great about respecting the boundary between being in and out of the office. Since many employees work at home anyways, it's not unusual to get a Slack message after your normal hours being asked to complete something. High turnover rate. Few employees are in paid positions. Many employees are working positions that should be paid, but given their visa status, they are doing the work as unpaid volunteers to gain experience. Yet many of these volunteers already had credible job experience and it seemed they should have been receiving some sort of compensation for the hard work that they did (ie getting hired after work visas come through or not being expected to work on off hours)

Pros

Flexible work hours, small company so you get to know and spend time with everyone on the team, collaborative environment, there's always help if you need it. Furthermore, if you're interested in pursuing a project that may fall outside your specific job description, its highly likely that you'll be able to take a crack at it.

Cons

Sometimes tasks are not spelled out clearly for interns, so there's some guess work involved when you can't get in touch with the project lead quickly. The negative of having a small team is that if you don't like some of your coworkers, you will have to deal with them a lot. This wasn't a problem for me, but other coworkers of mine had some issues. Since the company is an NGO, the pace of projects can be very slow as there isn't the funding or manpower to expedite, so if you like working on fast-paced tasks with quick turn over times this isn't the place for you
