Pros
The high majority of staff are nice, hard workers, and believe in the healthcare mission. There are great international travel opportunities for staff and there is room for growth and taking on new challenges, which is a rarity in the NGO field. Salary is fair for the field.
Cons
Staff often feel frustrated when Orbis executive leadership, including HR, don't hold staff members across departments and positions accountable for their work output, behaviour, and attitude. It can be a very political organization and often lacks transparency and clear, honest communication where layoffs and other big decisions are concerned. We often get in our own way as it has to do with decision-making and staying the course. This has been standard operating procedure for some time and seems to be the culture.
