Pros

Old organisation with several projects and better infrastructure than most NGOs in India, easy to grasp a lot of key concepts about the development sector easily, great office building and canteen

Cons

Terrible working hours, most of the seniors are extremely ignorant and unprofessional, the senior management has a very old-school style of extracting as much work through keeping employees scared

Pros

other than the canteen, I really can't think of any

Cons

people are too old, im not age shaming but the boomer mentality runs very deep in this organisation, extremely reluctant to change, there's this culture of satisfying the ego of upper management to survive, Admin and finance processes stuck in the pre internet age, stupid rules like timings for the canteen and sending fuedalistic mails from the top down, I mean, I could go on and on.
