Steph's Notes:

The ACLU seeks a full-time position of Helpdesk Analyst in the Information Technology Department of the ACLU’s National office in San Francisco, CA. This is a hybrid role that has in-office requirements of four (4) days per week.

Friends. Comrades. Four days a week in-office is not a hybrid role. That's an on-site role with one day a week telework-authorized. C'mon, y'all.

Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and demonstrate grace under pressure

Eehhhhh, why though? You're serving internal audiences – what kind of culture are you fostering over there, ACLU?

Overall, I'm going to put this in Eh, It's Probably Fine, with a caveat that I really think anyone applying to this role ought to press hard on the "demonstrate grace under pressure" bit. The duties of the role seem pretty straightforward, and while I'm not in love with the salary, it's not terrible.

For roles in companies like these, upsides for some can be downsides for others: they're often really old-school working environments that tend to favor stability over rapid innovation. You skip a lot of the startup bullshit, but obviously, Business Granddaddies come with their own kind of bullshit.
