Pros

Really interesting projects in the International Development sector. Lots of lovely and passionate people working there.

Cons

With development spend being cut across the world, budget cuts were being made all over the business, making resources stretched thin across the business.

Pros

Strong culture of integrity. Absolutely spectacular colleagues. Super interesting work.

Cons

Basically denuded of staff due to USAID cuts. Upper management had become obsessed with performance against metrics that were poorly fit to the business, and were focused entirely on how they might meet those metrics this week, without looking ahead to how to make structural improvements over the longer term.
