Pros

The business development operations are strong. Projects are well staffed with the necessary operational and technical support. There is a clear pay scale for each grade level and transparent performance review cycle. Lifestyle benefits and performance bonuses are good perks. Senior executive management listens and communicates with staff. Development is a fast paced industry with sometimes difficult clients and tight deadlines, but DAI supports its employees to perform well. Good work life balance given the industry. This is what development companies should aspire to be like.

Cons

Pay for the associate level and field teams could be more competitive. More flexibility for remote work.

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.
