Pros

Health coverage is competitive if you're an exempt employee.

Kontras

Terrible compensation and culture. Incompetent leadership. Blatant nepotism. The current situation is unbelievable. There are 7 C-level employees (CEO, CIO, etc) for a 70 person staff. Although each C-level employee gets paid a six-figure salary (those salaries are openly posted on their website), you'd be hard pressed to find any one of them in the office on any given day of the week. While they all receive copious bonuses, HR has continued to coincidentally re-vamp their employee evaluation rubrics so that almost nobody is granted raises due to "under performing according to the new rubric" (there is a new one every year). That is, of course, unless you are one of the many new staff who are related to the C-suite staff either by blood or by friendship. In that case, you might get a raise and a promotion within your first 4 months of employment (all while "working remotely"). On top of all of this, there are more contractors and consulting firms than even a private corporation might employ. Everything from basic communications to strategic planning seems beyond the skills of the senior staff, so they dump hundreds of thousand of dollars into contractors and consultants every year. Of course, all of these contractors are coincidentally old friends with the C-level staff. The sad thing is, none of this is a secret. All of the capable and high-value staff are leaving as fast as they can and being very open about it. The office is uncomfortably quiet and barren on any given day. There have even been new employees that have turned around and walked out within a few weeks of witnessing this mess. Unless you are related to one of the members of the leadership team by blood (or marriage) or are a close acquaintance, there is no future for you here.

Pros

-Bold vision to transform the face of STEM: NMSI advances STEM education by diversifying the teacher workforce, building the capacity of STEM teachers and school systems, and expanding access for more students to excel in STEM learning and see themselves in STEM careers -- especially students from underrepresented groups. NMSI has a strong research department with long-term data showing that their students -- across all demographic groups -- consistently outpace national averages in advanced STEM enrollment, AP exams, persistence through college, and earning STEM degrees. -Strong 5-yr strategic plan: NMSI has a well thought-out strategic plan that keeps staff rowing together to build educator and school system capacity, leverage high-quality technology solutions, and elevate supports for Black, Latino, and Indigenous communities. -Led and staffed by hard working and committed people: During the pandemic, NMSI did better than many nonprofits and even for-profits. But eventually strategic shifts and a restructure were necessary, which caused hard feelings for some people in Sept 2023. But the organization emerged stronger and more effective. It is clear why the restructure was necessary, and the new leadership team has been sincere in their work to make NMSI an irresistible and equitable organization where all staff feel empowered and safe to do their best work.

Kontras

Significant change at the organization is difficult for some. And NMSI has taken on some of society's most inextricable problems, which is not a good fit for all people.
