Pros

1. My colleagues are the most supportive and positive minded people I've ever met. No toxic ambitious competition. Haha. Everyone knows what they're good at and keen to share their knowledge to others. 2. The programs and projects here promote and protect human rights and peaceful conflict resolution 3. Considerate HR team and upper management. Some flexibility in working hour and phase when you're facing your personal demon. You're allowed to work remotely/ from home or come late to the office as long as you get your work done. 4. The country director is very knowledgeable in peacebuilding and conflict resolution. He's open minded, friendly, and a good mentor. 5. The management will find a way to support your personal development if there's an opportunity like training or workshop you can join, whether it's a financial one or simply a permission to do it.

Cons

- Conventional financial system. You still have to submit many paperwork in this digital/ blockchain era. - Time difference with HQ makes you have to do meeting calls at night

Pros

Wonderful mission. Great place to work if you want a passionate, mission-driven environment. Easy to make friends among co-workers. Lots of smart, talented people who love the company. You will learn A LOT about peacebuilding, conflict resolution, global politics, etc. You will gain amazing skills and become a better human being. There is a lot to love.

Cons

Poor leadership at the highest levels. Strategies are developed and before they can be implemented there are pivots to new strategies. Cuts are made that might make sense on paper with no real understanding of the fallout in "the real world." While cuts are being made, leadership members will commit to overspending on consultants and/or services that are unnecessary, like shiny new gadgets that will surely be the next cure for what ails us. Leadership often has a surprising lack of trust in the amazing people they hire.
