Pros

- working with local team is great! empathetic culture with smart and fun people - working with Fellows is a life-making experience - flexible work structure; self-initiated schedules and KPIs

Cons

- working with global teams exposes the lack of diversity in top leadership; most people of color are in junior or middle management - dissonance with mission of "everyone a changemaker" yet heavily focuses, promotes, and funds only individual leaders rather than teams - big gap between salaries of the junior and middle management and senior management - pushes overburdened, under-resourced developing country teams to overpromise KPIs while hesitating to pour resources and funding into them in the name of "entrepreneurial culture"
