Pros
Exciting portfolio of global issues and global partners; Unparalleled opportunities for junior and mid-level staff members for advancement, peer learning, and substantive work with real impact; Ample opportunities to work on challenging, cutting edge issues and subject matter that center on the big questions and challenges swirling in today's global development communities, namely innovation, systems, and collaboration; Caring, dedicated, intelligent staff who care deeply about the work, the impact they're making, and the people with and for whom they undertake the work; Talented, bold, empathetic leadership who invests significantly in staff members' leadership and skills development; Flexibility and encouragement from leadership to build a portfolio of work and projects that reflects individual passions and skills
Cons
Challenges similar to those faced by most if not all small but growing nonprofit organizations working in the global development field (e.g., staff size, limitations of donor-funded project cycle). That said, leadership is exceedingly committed to finding creative, sustainable solutions to whatever issue may emerge, and welcomes staff members' regular and ongoing contributions into a range of organizational strategy and strengthening initiatives. No matter the issue on the table, staff have an open door with leadership to find and implement solutions.
