Pros

Project portfolio can be interesting and colleagues are reasonably warm. Opportunities to work on large commercial contracts

Cons

Feels like a private company which it is. Mission and values do nothing come through strongly enough. If you sit at HQ you run the risk of being quite removed from projects delivery.

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.
