Pros

You worked with the grassroots organization that are making a difference in helping the underserved. Had the ability to try new things and propose ideas before business took turn for worse. Worked with some very passionate people that were committed to being a change maker.

Cons

Highest level of management did not have the foresight to change, a lot of talk but no action. No accountability at the highest level which led to implementation failing. Hubris, unrealistic growth expectations, perceived value on the global stage.

Pros

The overall vision and mission to improve the lives of vulnerable people suffering from malaria and other diseases is inspiring. If you have the opportunity to travel, you will meet a lot of amazing people in the malaria world. The job is relatively flexible with the working hours, though most people at the Swiss office do not work early hours (very few people start before 9 am).

Cons

Few opportunities for mobility and while there is a cost of living adjustment, there have been no salary increases (I've been an employee for nearly 4 years. Many other employees that are not in the executive management report no changes to salary). The leadership team lacks leadership qualities and is misaligned. They don't make the time talk to about internal issues nor do they resolve issues together. Many employees are unhappy at this moment in time and every year since I've joined, 2-3 people have quit (in the Swiss office which has less than 25 people). Business processes are a mess and unclear.
