A happy engineer
I work in engineering. The people I work with are bright and engaged, an interesting (and, I think, healthy) mix of CS Ph.D. types and people with other backgrounds. People believe in the mission.
The organization seems very well run, particularly under the current Executive Director.
Team cultures can vary pretty widely, and there are some curmudgeons here and there. Happily, they are not the norm.
The organization is in a good place.
Try to remain focused on the mission and not get too caught up in present political concerns.
Remember that we serve the communities, not they us.
