Pros

Exciting projects, brilliant staff, and lots of hands on experience with customers

Cons

Like many consulting firms, best work is done when they are self-originating, not catering to donors. Tough to balance

Pros

Note that I primarily worked on BFA Global's Catalyst Fund, which is equal parts venture investor and technical assistance service provider, so this may not be accurate for the rest of the organization. The experience to working closely with disruptive, purpose-driven founders across emerging markets was incredible. I learned a lot and really felt the impact of my work immediately.

Cons

Priorities are driven by the funders, so if there's a mismatch with what you want as an individual, then it's tough to justify.

Demanding work can easily translate into long days, even with flexibility with work hours.
