Business outlook
Pros
Greenpeace attracts talented and smart people who deeply care and want to make change. There are a lot of opportunities to move laterally in the organization between offices and a lot of cool opportunities and types of projects to get involved in, which I doubt you'd get anywhere else.
Cons
The US office is incredibly dysfunctional and has been for decades. It means that The admirable mission doesn't translate into effective impact in the real world. There is a complete disconnect between leadership and staff, both contribute to the problem - lack of transparency, hierachical and bureaucratic from the leadership, and lack of respect, inability to follow agreed organizational goals from junior staff.
