Pros

I was really attracted by the great mission to scale proven solutions to improve the lives of millions. There was also a lot of focus on people management and mentorship. It suited my interests and style of working very well that building systems, improving cost-efficiency and professional management were encouraged and rewarded.

Cons

They work was fantastic, but I didn't realize till I left that it was so cutting edge for the sector. I wish success and innovation were celebrated more.

Pros

Evidence Action offers a very supportive and intellectually stimulating working environment. The onboarding process was smooth, and the team was welcoming, responsive, and highly professional. I appreciated the transparent management style, strong mentorship, and opportunities to improve my skills in literature review, critical thinking, analytical writing, AI use, and global health program strategy. The office location and staff were also excellent.

Cons

I do not have major concerns. As with many fast-moving global health organizations, some projects require adapting quickly to evolving priorities and timelines, but this also created valuable learning opportunities.

Pros

A genuinely unique, evidence-first value proposition in the sector (positioned where many peers are heading). Strong, mission-driven culture rooted in real values. Fresh leadership perspective and a solid, well-designed process for developing new programs.

Cons

The matrixed structure creates real coordination friction, and organizational power sits unevenly across teams. Decision-making can be slow and consensus-heavy, with unclear ownership.
