Pros

Great professional development opportunities, especially for people just out of school, collegial environment, very collaborative. Great travel opportunities, nice people, opportunity for work life balance, opportunities to specialize.

Cons

Sometimes cater too much to very senior people. Can be difficult to break out of a niche. Need to have a competent manager above you to thrive.

Pros

Strong culture of integrity. Absolutely spectacular colleagues. Super interesting work.

Cons

Basically denuded of staff due to USAID cuts. Upper management had become obsessed with performance against metrics that were poorly fit to the business, and were focused entirely on how they might meet those metrics this week, without looking ahead to how to make structural improvements over the longer term.
