Pros

EngenderHealth does great work and has many employees that are extremely hard working and intelligent individuals. They also have a good benefits package.

Cons

The organizations is slowing ripping apart at the seams. Unsustainable talent retention due to dependence on grant funding for specific projects. Dying donor base. Mismanagement. Employees lacking innovation or vision and dinosaurs sticking around that continue to do things the same way for decades. Dreary atmosphere. There is no communication between the different department, i.e. the communications team doesn't know what the program team is doing and vice versa. People are quitting every week and it will be surprising if this organization is able to pull through. All non-profits are suffering in this field and this economy but EH seems to be hit especially hard. Changes need to be made. The external relations team has an exciting marketing campaign but it's taking years to launch - it may be too late.

Pros

Incredibly collaborative work place - seamless interactions between staff across geographies, globally distributed core technical team, and lots of opportunities for growth. Well functioning executive team.

Cons

Overall size of portfolio and shifts in donor funding priorities affects what can be done. Efforts are underway to keep diversifying the portfolio and from what I am hearing, these have been quite successful recently.

Pros

There are some great colleagues at EH.

Cons

Senior leadership was toxic, that toxicity spread to all levels, and there was rampantly abusive conduct woven into everyday interactions at this organization. People just took it for granted. Sadly, EH made a great case for cutting off USAID funding due to abuse and daily misconduct.
