Pros

The culture at the company is great, and the work is interesting. Good career advancement opportunities and the ability to move laterally within the firm for a change of pace too. The people at the company are very friendly--lots of RPCVs and committed people--and, if you want to, you will have many opportunities to travel. Also, the company has been performing fairly well from a business development pipeline and current work opportunities perspective.

Cons

Work-life balance can get tested depending on the manager and project you have (but you will learn a great deal and have opportunities if you work hard). Also, the firm will try to squeeze employees on pay initially at junior and middle levels (if you're a good performer you get rewarded, but still at a lower level).

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.
