Pros

PRB is an amazing place to work, with dedicated, intelligent and fun professionals. The flexible work schedule is done so well. The office space is beautiful. The projects that we work on are instrumental in making global change around access to healthcare resources, equity concerns and climate issues. In my short time here, I have begun to make some great relationships, have learned a lot and am enjoying being valued as one of the newest team members.

Cons

The staff work in different time zones around the world, so coordinating times for the teams to get together, can be challenging at times.
