Pros

Evidence Action offers a very supportive and intellectually stimulating working environment. The onboarding process was smooth, and the team was welcoming, responsive, and highly professional. I appreciated the transparent management style, strong mentorship, and opportunities to improve my skills in literature review, critical thinking, analytical writing, AI use, and global health program strategy. The office location and staff were also excellent.

Cons

I do not have major concerns. As with many fast-moving global health organizations, some projects require adapting quickly to evolving priorities and timelines, but this also created valuable learning opportunities.

Pros

Evidence Action made a great call hiring Danielle as CEO. She's brought real clarity to our priorities and strategy at a time when it was needed. Her focus on people is strong and I've appreciated her engagement. We've been navigating the messy middle that is typical for an org at 10-15 years, but our path forward feels clearer now. I'm excited to see where we're heading!

Cons

As we entered a new stage of growth the last two years, it has been bumpy at times. There's still work to do on internal processes and ways of working.
