Pros
A good salary for those based in South Africa. Exposure across public health sector; health departments, other non-profit organisations and Global Funders and Global Organisations. A good mix of technical programmes to learn about, including health financing.
Cons
Poor & non-existent Talent Management. No desire or political will to develop staff beyond their current role and capacity. Archaic HR systems. Poorly trained Managers, sometimes very clueless. Favouritism played a huge role in promotions around 2019 to 2021. An organisation that is stuck in its former glory and lacking in new ideas in growing it's scope of work and funding pool. There is room for new strategies, but those can only work if the leaders take an active interest in listening to their staff, particularly Analysts & Associates.
