Pros

Genuine commitment to strong ethics and excellent programme delivery. Flexible working practices, particularly for those with families. Good team culture and friendly place to work. Excellent access to technical resources in both the US, UK and beyond. Good career progression opportunities, particularly for the most talented. Employee ownership. Many women in senior positions, especially in the US - Chair of the Board is female. Common to find staff who have left return a few years later.

Cons

Work comes in ebbs and flows, and work-life balance can be difficult during busy times. Salaries not as high as several competitors.

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.
