Pros

Some great people who work very hard and care deeply. On-the-ground international staff are truly inspiring and dedicated.

Cons

Recent budget cuts driven by federal executive orders have created a strained internal culture. Some teams outside of individual and private fundraising have found themselves in the position of repeatedly having to justify their value in order to access basic resources, which has affected morale and collegiality across the organization. Limited career growth opportunities due to cuts.
