Pros

Strong Technical expertise and great in country staff and technical backbone

Cons

Complete disregard for employees from the executive level. A recent reorganization with no input from staff or supervisors and complete absence or involvement of HR which is odd given there were several staffing changes. That on top of outdated systems, no visibility outside of Project Delivery by other teams on your actual workload so you're continuously harassed with adhoc requests that are out of your scope of work or purview, overworked Project Directors, false sense of D&I initiatives and lack of career development interest from HR or supervisors, just save yourself the grief and apply elsewhere. Patiently counting down the days until I can leave too.

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.
