Pros

Good for short term, interim contracts for substantive, relevant work in international development. If you have a clear expertise, opportunities are easier to come by versus if you are a generalist in international development.

Cons

There are some management issues and this is not unique to one agency. I've worked for several different agencies and all seem to have similar issues in management and leadership.

Pros

Great multicultural environment with people from all over the world, which creates a very enriching and inclusive atmosphere. Everyone is punctual and colleagues are very chill and easy to work with. The diversity of backgrounds makes collaboration genuinely enjoyable.

Cons

Very resistant to change and innovation. The organization tends to stick to old processes and is reluctant to adopt new technologies or modern approaches. Progress and improvements move extremely slowly, which can be frustrating for those looking to make an impact. its also unpaid which sucks
