      Be an intern, not an employee

      Pros

      People are amazingly intelligent and have loads of interesting experience. It's easy to feel good about the work you are doing. Great for the resume.

      Cons

      Support staff are not always treated with appropriate respect, even though most are very qualified and dedicated workers. There is zero mobility for support staff. Interns get all the interesting work.

      Pros

      Good learning environment. Flexible work hours.

      Cons

      Culture is very white & American centric. White saviour mentality when working on global majority. Unchecked problematic behaviour among leadership. Lack of clarity on salaries and benefits. Low pay, long work hours. Lack of structures means that your growth or experience is dependent on your relationship with your manager, your manager’s interests and your manager’s access to power. HR seems powerless.
