Pros

Very good people that worked there, they were passionate about international development and had a lot of ideas. Was able to work from home if I needed, although that was due to my manager's flexibility not company wide policy.

Cons

Too little pay for lower level employees. For the responsibilities and work that lower level associates did, they were not compensated fairly. Benefits were average but days off were difficult because holiday and vacation days were all in one pool.

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.
