      A value-destroying company - Business Development Director DAI Employee Review

      Pros

      Opportunities for young graduates and people with no experience in the international development .

      Cons

      The company has a low-wage policy and takes into account a high staff turnover. New hires, to save on the wage bill, are placed in positions that would require more experience and more skills. This policy generates very poor service for contracting authorities like DFID and EU who often complain. Internal career mechanisms are determined, at least in the UK, by personal acquaintances and family relationships: most of the key people are related.

      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.
