Pros

Great place to start out at; flexible work schedule; work life balance

Cons

Boring work day - to - day for junior employees. If you stick around long enough you might do something cool. Pay is terrible; the annual compensation cycle is a joke; some managers clearly have no idea what they're doing.

Pros

Strong culture of integrity. Absolutely spectacular colleagues. Super interesting work.

Cons

Basically denuded of staff due to USAID cuts. Upper management had become obsessed with performance against metrics that were poorly fit to the business, and were focused entirely on how they might meet those metrics this week, without looking ahead to how to make structural improvements over the longer term.
