Business outlook
Pros
Interesting work, multicultural and diverse working environment, generally supportive management, some travel opportunities depending on the post, for some posts travel requirements are high, access to interesting and influential people. Good if you are a specialist in a particular geography or discipline.
Cons
Complicated matrix management can mean that project ownership and accountabilities not always clear. Reduced funding means in some geographies programming decisions are unduly influenced by views of funders and stakeholders rather than core mission and vision. Salaries are low in comparison to expectations and working hours.
