Pros

Salary in euros (if you are lucky enough to get your monthly salary in 3 months!)

Cons

Well, where do I begin? The project manager and director are heavily involved in lobbying and they show little concern for the well-being of the employees only concern with their own interests. They seem to believe that everyone would want to work at DAI regardless of how poorly they are treated. The project manager's communication skills are abysmal. Even though she is aware that salaries are issued monthly, she never sees fit to inform the employees, acting as if it's a surprise every time. The IPA projects that DAI is supposed to implement for the purpose of teaching compliance to the government seem to be poorly managed, indicating a lack of understanding of project management principles. They are simply dreadful! Additionally, there is a prevalent issue of workplace bullying.

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.
