Pros

Some good people. Good central location in London. Benefits non existent - or only for some with conflicting rules on working at home for example.

Cons

Low pay. No opportunities for development. Excellent staff allowed to leave with no attempt made to keep them. An HR department that works for the Directors not for the staff. An unmanageable network making demands on the London HQ rather than supporting themselves. Trying to be too clever with their interpretation of Ethics rather than just having some and actually showing some vision. Unclear decision making processes and obtuse and conflicting statements on strategy and developments.

Pros

HAI is a respected INGO working on improving access to services for older persons.

Cons

If your project does not fall within one of the main corporate themes, e.g. social pensions or livelihoods, then you will not have support to grow programming in your area of interest. Many managers and directors have been in place for many years, resulting in old-school culture, old-school thinking, and protection of their positions.
