Pros
Amazing place to start a career in international development. It has endless opportunities for professional development and to do work outside of your regular projects. The Latin America & Caribbean Business Unit is amazing! I´ve never had the opportunity to work with such a supportive, inclusive, and fun team. The new office in Navy Yard is also beautiful.
Cons
Your experience and community will very much depend on what team/business unit you are in. Work life balance can be bad at times, especially if you´re working on live proposals. In some PMUs, it can be hard to step away from your computer. The online work environment has made it difficult to be flexible during the day. Chemonics still has a lot to work to do to build a healthy and consistent online work environment for everyone. They say we are hybrid (which you can be) but not that many people go into the office. The salaries can also be A LOT better.
