Pros

Impactful work in the field of Rural Development and Livelihood Opportunity to work closely with Government systems and communities Efficient HR team, very helpful The Community Action Labs and Public Policy in Action teams' approach are quite interesting, good space to learn ground (impact oriented) work Enhances further career opportunities

Cons

The Management/Leadership has no empathy for employees [Absence of Complaint Redressal Mechanism] The organisation is more supportive of the Team Lead or Leadership, but doesn't have any platform for the ground employees to raise their concern The leave system is quite flawed with Sandwich Leave system Annual salary increment is not there, they call it adjustment in proportion to inflation Consultant contract employees have different leave provisions from the FTE contract employees, be aware of what you're offered.

Pros

Five days working, that's it.

Cons

During my tenure with the organisation, I supported the PPIA but faced significant challenges due to poor leadership and lack of direction. The organisation lacked the strategic roadmap, clear pathways or defined health targets. to work towards. Recently, organisation has decided to focus on "Neighbourhood of care" initiative. However, this initiative too lacks a clear roadmap or strategy for field intervention, even after a year of its introduction. There has been no clarity provided on how to operationalise this vision, and the suggestions from the team members have not been adequately considered or acknowledged. The leadership particularly the Health lead, has struggled to provide programatic direction or inspires the team effectively. unfortunately this has led a significant attrition of talented professionals, who found it challenging to work under such circumstances. these issues have severely hindered the organisation's ability to achieve the goals in the health domain. The Organisation's strategy document outlines health indicatiors that do not align with its interventions, raising questions about the purpose and coherence of the document. this misalingenment is not limited to health but extends to other domain as well. As a professional, it's disheartening to misuse of funders' resources on documentation of government initiatives and clerical tasks of government agencies, rather than driving meaningful impact.
