Pros

People do care and are very smart.

Cons

I am mystified to see these 5 star reviews -- to the point where I question if they are planted in an effort for Chemonics to battle its recent retention and hiring challenges. The results of the employee survey from last month underscore serious management and resourcing challenges in the corporate office, uncompetitive salaries in the corporate office, and lack of understanding at the executive level in what programs and their support teams need - there are investments in "flashy" technologies and initiatives while implementation and technical advisory teams are running on fumes. People remain passionate but Chemonics is not adapting from its culture of assuming it can grind its employees to the bone in 12-16 hour days, falling behind its competitors in flexibility, work life balance, and pay.

Pros

Truly a great company to work for, they care so much about work/life balance. Everyone is kind and they are like family.

Cons

It can be hard working from home because you never see your coworkers and sometimes you lose that momentum.

Pros

Clear company structure, processes, and tools. Professional development funds available. Easy-to-use and high-quality benefits. Pay is fair for the work.

Cons

"Company is family" mentality, sanitized rather than straightforward communications from executives, poor training, unclear standards of success, vague professional growth guidance and no clear paths towards becoming the ideal professional at this company.
