Pros
Intelligent and mission-driven colleagues who really believe in Devex’s mission and want to improve the global development sector for the better
Cons
There are many issues in the company that the management chooses to ignore and cover up with “startup growth pains” and other excuses when the company itself and the work culture is far from being a startup. Many (especially junior) employees at the end of the hiring process are being forced to sign a freelance periodic contract which means they are working full time but are not getting any social security benefits, holidays or sick leave. This also leaves the employee in a position where Devex can stop the contract whenever they want to. A lot of people have been leaving the company recently, probably because of the unfair compensation and conditions. Many teams are understaffed and overworked as the workload has risen but management refuses to allocate budget to hire more people and keeps signing freelance contracts with new full-time employees.
