Some creative clashes, given the nature of work, and high work load at times, but the managers are understanding and help prioritise.

Pros

It's an ethics driven research consulting firm and its leaders really stand for having an impact and not just making a profit. It's an inspiring work environment where you get to work with a diverse team and in locations across the world. What I particularly appreciate is that the management values intellectual curiosity and people who keep the bigger picture in mind - even though sometimes you can get caught up in your day to day project work. I'd recommend the workplace to researchers who want to be part of impact-driven research while adhering to high academic standards and research ethics.

Cons

The company is constantly changing and it can be challenging to keep up with the pace. Given the nature of the firm and the industry and contexts it operates in, the work is fast-paced and can be demanding from a project management perspective.

Pros

I was in the middle of my professional career when I started working with Samuel Hall in Afghanistan. I was provided with capacity-building opportunities both internally and externally. The capacity building and support received from the management and the team enabled me to be promoted in the structure and even experienced different domains of work. I witnessed that many colleagues had similar opportunities and even they were supported when they wanted to change their careers and encouraged to promote in the structure. The SH was a start-up as well when I joined, during its development always they were putting in place the “Human” and positive impact as its priority. Yes, if you would like to take the real challenge of research and looking for a positive impact, I would suggest joining SH.

Cons

The work is subject to political volatility and funding to countries like Afghanistan so even when they faced these issues as social enterprises they tried to self-investing in some projects when the means allowed.
