Pros

for employers who don't know HD, it looks good on the C.V. as private sector experience is valued in the world of international development and the wide variety of sectors and regions covered through the tendering process makes the experience interesting. it is also good to learn how the tendering process works.

Cons

unhealthy working environment with dissatisfied employees, lack of opportunities for growth and concern for employees' well-being (not even an HR department!), low salaries, micromanagement and climate of mistrust and fear, a leadership that does not take responsibility and does not reward employees' successes, does not encourage or support them, and is not able to change its patterns and see that deep humane transformations are needed to make the business work and create a positive working environment.

Pros

Good location in Downtown Vienna.

Cons

Where do I start? Clueless management with a domineering owner who rules through fear. Take the collective advice of all the posters and tear up your current offer and run!

Pros

Very good school to learn what you should avoid in terms of prospective, expectations, lack of professionalism and bad practices. Meeting, skilled people from different backgrounds

Cons

The only vision is making profit at any…cost. No matter what it takes. The owner just doesn’t trust any of his employees (expendables) and is a micro-management freak that sees conspiracies everywhere. He brainwashes his weak managers (his minions) in order to blame constantly the demotivated and terrorized staff. He pretends that working for his company is the greatest opportunity that happens once in a lifetime and that people should be eternally grateful. No HR policy nor department. Very high-turnover of staff. The wise ones, when they see there is no perspective in this unrealistic environment (or if they get the chance to be fired) leave the company (but with the risk of being ostracized as a traitor to one’s kind) like rats from a ship. You might be disappointed to see what is being done with taxpayers ‘money for development. And that of course is repugnant.
