This is an incredibly toxic workplace and there are no efforts made to rectify this. There are only efforts to protect leadership. They may be doing "good work" but your life and mental health will suffer.
As stated above, the org does life-saving work at the grassroots levels for vulnerable women and girls in communities throughout the Global South.
Cons
It is an *extremely* close-knit group of (almost all) women who have worked together for years and, thus, is hard to find one's "place" in that culture. Also, although the racial and ethnic makeup of the staff is very diverse, there's a great deal of "group-think" among the staff, which can be stymying.
