Pros

A lot of opportunity to learn new skills. Being exposed to different and sometimes unexpected environment leads to creating multi-talent employees. It gives you enough room to be creative, and as such your are given recognition for your great work.

Cons

Bureaucracy is a problem. You can make good connections and networking with most departments, but it feels like there is a glass ceiling in the upper management level. I personally have met the COP probably twice in my two year tenure.

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.
