Pros

Lifestraw is an ever growing, hardworking, caring company. I enjoyed my time working there. The company has great benefits, great management style, and endless opportunities for growth. Their humanitarian efforts alone are a huge part of why I wanted to be a part of the team.

Cons

No cons, just miss working there. Thankful for the support and encouragement I received when deciding to leave to be at home with my small children.

Pros

1) It takes everything to work for LifeStraw. 2) An organization bound by strong work ethics, having global code of conduct on UN Model, working towards achieving SDGs and zero tolerance for corruption, all sorts of discrimination, makes working enjoyable. 3) Freedom to connect to Senior management like CEO, CFO, Vice Presidents on matters pertaining to business and process improvement. 4) A true team culture, where you are not insulted or pinpointed for your mistakes, but the whole team comes and works on your behalf to remove from the quagmire situation. 5) Only place where you can serve humanity at grass root level. the best satisfaction is derived from knowing that your work actually saves a vulnerable/under priveleged living soul some where across the globe. 6) The response towards relief in global disasters, serving children in Western Kenya and many parts of Africa/Latin America and Asia, and the smiles you see on their faces, makes you retire your day and sleep with content, giving you the necessary energy to wake up and work the next day. 6) We find our reporting managers to be true leaders. I worked under 3 different managers during my tenure and all the gentlemen, who managed and are managing me currently gave me encouragement/ motivation/responsibility/adequate delegation to act and take spontaneous decisions, provided they are within the accepted code of conduct and are beneficial for organization's benefit. 7) Never we compromise our work ethics and will not pursue any business opportunity, if it is detrimental to the organization values and your decision personally not to handle that situation is respected. 8) LifeStraw is the only organization where business strategy is shared with every employee ranging from a CEO to the lower most in the hierarchy scale. This is the only organization where everyone of us truly understand the mission, vision and values and our daily life revolves around them. 9) The values and the work culture are so immensely powerful, majority of us including me, inculcate them in my personal sphere of life. 10) Working in LifeStraw turned me 360 degrees in my official and my personal life. This is the only organization which gives you opportunity to be reemployed with them. I initially worked from 2006 to 2012 and then rejoined back in 2017 and will continue working, till such time I get the opportunity. 11) Current macro economic conditions are highly unpredictable and sometime in future, God Forbidding, if I am asked to go, I will go with a profound satisfaction that I served the organization till the last second and that no one can takeback the precious time, I worked here. This will solemnly remain with me for my life and with a hope that I can rejoin back if another opportunity comes when I am alive.

Cons

No. Everywhere there are challenges. The deadlines exist everywhere and hence cannot be complained.
