Pros

Fantastic mission, smart colleagues, commitment to excellence at all levels. Good career progression over time (I was in over 20 years). Focused attention over the years for improving management and I believe this made a difference. Supportive of career progression, families, and upholding high standard of ethics.

Cons

Ambitious mission, global (70 developing countries +), and increased reporting requirements over the years, from State, Congress, without eliminating reporting that may no longer be relevant or needed.
