Pros
1 - Many opportunities for personal and professional growth at this company. 2 - The office culture is very friendly, with many smart and driven co-workers who are dedicated to the company mission and cause. 3 - There are opportunities to move around in the company, including to overseas project assignments. 4 - Reputable firm in the international development industry with strong technical expertise.
Cons
1 - Has a "decision by consensus" culture, which although collaborative, leaves a large gap in accountability. 2 - Salaries for entry-level and mid-level positions are low, although typical for the international development industry. 3 - Internal support departments (i.e. IT, HR, Procurement, Contracts) are not effectively managed and operate inefficiently. 4 - Depending on the department you are in, work-life balance can be challenging as the workload is quite heavy and there is pressure to keep staffing levels low.
