Pros

When I was there, DAI had good work/life balance and people that really cared about their work and about each other.

Cons

Because it is (or was) such a large company, the happiness you have there may depend on your specific team, but I haven't heard of any specific department having a bad reputation. The pay could be a little higher.

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.
