CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The organization offers opportunities to work in the international field and gain valuable project management experience.

Cons

Salaries are not commensurate with workloads for project managers and program assistants. The organization also does not have a coherent vision of its future goals. This lack of clarity leads management to view staff as cogs in a vast project management machine and to ignore the value of subject matter expertise when servicing clients.
