Pros

Work life balance, advancement opportunities, supportive and generally quality colleagues, interesting work.

Cons

Face the same challenges a lot of international development contractors face: compensation/raises can be impacted by government contracts and/or restrictive HR policies. Grappling with RSJI focus, but believe that the individuals that work at DAI, including senior management do care - even though efforts towards this have come under question/been frustratingly slow/ineffective in recent years.

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.
