Pros

Great opportunity for junior staff to gain practical, hands-on experience working with governments and donors at the cutting edge of open government and aid transparency. Major evolution in the last year towards greater internal accountability, improved management processes, and exciting new project innovations with game-changing potential in international development. Colleagues are in general a fun, dedicated, and international group. Not to mention an impressive cadre of young, new team members who bring creativity, enthusiasm and fresh ideas.

Cons

In the past, senior management decision-making was too slow, but process overhauls and changes to management in the last year have noticeably improved the pace and transparency of decisions.

Pros

People are awesome and friendly. Always lots of cake on birthdays, team lunches (in the nice casual way, not boring mandatory kind) The work we get to do is fulfilling and exciting. Good opportunities for travel. Is run like a social enterprise more than a non-profit, keeps things sustainable, and people working hard. You always feel like colleagues are working as hard as you are. Pay and benefits are good for a non-profit, but not on par with private, but if money is what drives you then it's probably not a good fit anyway.

Cons

The team is distributed across the world. half in D.C and the rest in Argnetina, Romania, and a couple scattered around. It makes travelling fun and exciting, but means a lot of tele-working and communicating instead of in person which takes some getting used to.
