Pros

Some very intelligent and passionate individuals working at the company, feels very much like work and personal life are two separate things as there are zero opportunities to acknowledge accomplishments, small talk in meetings, etc. so if you want a work place where people mind their own business, this is the place for you. Also good exposure to a lot of big-name orgs and events to work on despite being relatively small org. Pay is ok

Cons

The CEO is incredibly condescending and seems to have little to no consideration for the individuals she works with. I hope this has changed since my time with them, but there were many last-minute projects thrown at exec team members and an overall lack of empathy for those individuals. Rather than allowing opportunities to acknowledge achievements of team members, encourage a collaborative and supportive environment, there was 0 initiative to implement any sort of team culture here.

Local leadership is from the countries where they have programs. Diverse experiences and ideas.

Pros

I've been at Build Change for over 5 years, and still count myself lucky to work here: - The work is mission driven and Build Change really does what it says it does. - I feel 100% supported by my coworkers and feel motivated by their passion for what they do - I have a lot of agency over what projects I choose to work on and in shaping their outcomes - I have been given a lot of opportunities for progression and feel that my managers have always believed in my abilities (often more than I have myself!) - I respect and appreciate the vision and direction from senior leadership. They have always listened to me when I have come with ideas or concerns. - I like working for a small organisation that can quickly adapt and respond to changing needs. - My personal travel and life with a young family works well with the 100% remote role - I've had the opportunity to travel to places I never thought I'd see, and to see them through the eyes of local residents.

Cons

Budget for administrative support is understandably tight, so sometimes I end up helping out outside of my role, but it's not a big deal.
