Very supportive atmosphere especially for professional development. Surrounded by knowledgeable and experienced colleagues who are good resources. Enjoyed the project and the autonomy I had in managing it.

The transition from FHI to FHI 360 can really be felt and morale is questionable even out in the field. Better to be part of a bilateral project and have more independence than have to rely on HQ.

Pros

The people who work at FHI 360 are driven, willing to teach, kind, and genuine human beings. This is a perfect entry place for anyone looking for experience with a large global health and development organization. Interns, depending on the team, are able to take on projects outside of their teams and gain exposure to a multitude of topics. There are plenty of presentations to attend that feature global healthe are plenty of presentations to attend that feature global healthe are plenty of presentations to attend that feature global health and development experts working outside of FHI 360. You will come away from this internship with a wealth of knowledge, experience, and professional contacts. There is a lot of room to explore various areas of interest and even discover new areas of interest. I felt highly valued by my team and by people beyond my team. FHI 360 has a global mentoring program that is open to anyone, so I highly recommend taking part in that as an intern.

Cons

I joined this position after completing my Masters, and I did feel that the compensation was quite low for someone working full-time. It is a trade-off between the learning opportunities available and how much you are willing to give up financially for those opportunities.

Pros

FHI 360 is a great place to get started when you are new to the field of international development. Because it is a large organization if you are proactive you will have the opportunity to see a wide scope of what different niches are available in this sector.

Cons

FHI 360 underpays and overworks its employees HR is very resistant to salary transparency. Additionaly FHI 360 struggles to address DEI issues and have a very homogeneous leadershipand have a very homogeneous leadershipand have a very homogeneous leadership in most departments. In my current department there are no non-white senior leaders and there are no plans to change this. Additionally, FHI is comfortable overworking junior staff and paying them a 'starvation wage' . According to the CEO getting paid a starvation wage is just apart of the experience of junior level staff.

Pros

Very Good! a lot of fun & good people here

Cons

i couldn't agree more that work with FHI 360 is a great opportunity to take

Pros

-The people who work at FHI 360 are the organization's greatest asset. The work attracts mission-driven people who excel when collaborating with each other on meaningful projects. During my time here I met some incredibly intelligent, driven people that restore my faith in the development industry. -Every day is a learning experience. As an intern, I made an effort to branch out beyond my immediate team and connect with people working in different departments all over the organization, and everyone was very open to offering a glimpse into their side of the development world. Because FHI 360 is so large, there is alot you can grab on to and learn from. -The free gym is a nice touch.

Cons

FHI 360's executive leadership team360's executive leadership team360's executive leadership team has absolutely no vision for the organization and no long-term growth strategy. Over the last few years, they have heavily invested in an effort to win any contract or grant they can get their hands on, regardless of what area of expertise it falls under. The organization has become a massive, gelatinous development blob that is too large and unstructured for its own good. Patrick Fine is not a leader. He is a businessperson interested in growing the bottom-line revenue of the company at the expense of its people, its reputation, and its long-term sustainability. There is zero effort on the part of the leadership team to invest in even the most basic elements of what make a healthy company culture. Many of the employees feel like they aren't valued by leadership because frankly, they aren't. Morale is often low because there is a yearly cycle of layoffs and restructuring due to leaderships' misguided, bloated growth 'strategy.'
