Business outlook
Pros
People are passionate and smart, each individual is given a lot of freedom to do their own job and build new opportunities, and low-bureaucracy environment makes the job fun and fast-paced.
Cons
Country offices and global teams vary widely in their culture - some are really impact and evidence driven and push incredibly hard to hire the absolute best and deliver the most impact in a humble and frugal way, others may succumb more to the typical NGO approach of flying in and out of countries providing "technical assistance" without making much meaningful change. Pick your team carefully, and find a good fit.
