Pros

Culture - A culture of understanding the needs of workers with families during COVID - Some of the brightest, smartest, and KINDEST coworkers Global View - You get to build a global view on things - There are consistent learning sessions helping you build this understanding Benefits - Perhaps the most generous international development organization on the planet in terms of benefits: family leaves, insurance, retirement contributions

Cons

Cons - People may get too competitive at times Visa Sponsorship - Do not sponsor international workers below Senior Program Officer level, that too rarely Too Many Strategy Reviews - Sometimes it may appear that various divisions are going through strategy refreshes and there will be relatively few years of smooth sailing
