Pros

Really helped me to leverage my skillset gained from my Master's program and prepare me to enter the Global Health workforce. I gained a great network and could take incredible professional development courses.

Cons

I joined at a time of re-shuffle, which meant I sometimes fell through the cracks in terms over line-management and engagement in daily programs work.
