American Bar Association Employee Review

Current Employee – been working at American Bar Association

Pros – - Due to a chaotic administrative structure, there are great opportunities to learn about development work from the ground up.
- Junior staff are given expanded responsibility versus other similar institutions.
- Good work atmosphere with friendly, committed people.
- ABA ROLI is one of the few institutions in the world that does international rule of law or legal capacity building programs.

Cons – - Insufficient focus on professional development of staff.
- Limited institutional efforts to share knowledge about programs, successes, etc.
- Institution is not administratively set up for international development work and does not have the planning capacity to effectively address this.

Advice to Senior Management – - More attention should be paid to how the institution is structured, rather than trying to address individual issues ad-hoc.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
