              Some Programme Policy teams and departments (e.g. Pro-P) have very racist people in their teams. Not sure how these people continue to be allowed to function within the organization.

                        I was working at WFP in Laos. People are friendly, and the work-life balance is good. Pay is also good in terms of the local spending costs.

                        Cons

                        Many colleagues are local Laotians and cannot speak English very well

                      If asked what type of management style to you prefer? How do you feel about micromanagement? How do you answer this professionally? Nobody likes micromanagement so why ask? Maybe bc the manager there does?

                      In an interview is it a good practice to draw examples for answering situational questions from the most recent and relevant experience or should I draw examples from other previous experiences as well?
