Pros

Offers a rare opportunity and powerful platform to do human rights work, and there are lots of great experts working there.

Cons

Often feels more like a corporation than an NGO, complete with fat cat salaries at the top. Lots of performative concern and fake consultation by leadership. Nasty internal culture, and a level of bureaucracy that makes it hard to get anything done. Staff feel mistreated by management and very demoralized.
