A nice mid-sized international development company seeking changes

Pros

* Great experience and expertise in countries like Afghanistan, Nigeria and many other countries in especially MENA region. * Friendly company culture. Hardly you find poker faces. * Young staff can learn much from interesting projects.

Cons

* The compensation is not high, as compared to other government consultants. * While most of the programs work with great professionalism and high efficiency, some functioning parts just cannot do satisfying work.

Like other USAID contractors, but inconsistent and family-run

Pros

Lots of opportunities to learn, with very talented professionals around you. It's a financially stable organization (for now) so they are willing to spend money on career development and other things that many companies say no to or have limited funding for. They are doing great work, as are many USAID contractors, especially in the area of education.

Cons

Creative is entirely dependent on USAID. Yes, many other contractors in DC are the same way, I know. But Creative will not do anything outside the purview of AID or away from AID's strategic vision. And it leaves little room for Creative to be innovative and creative, despite their name. The whole family works there-in very senior-level positions-and while there are many successful family-run businesses, I do not think this is one of them. Senior management stress how strong Creative's values are, but I never saw that in action anywhere. It's essentially all talk, no walk.

You will learn a lot, especially if it is your entry-level start.

If your top management at HQ is not good, your project will turn into a big mess.
