Would Not Recommend - Senior Associate, Project Management Chemonics International Employee Review

Pros

Well known company in the international development field.

Cons

Low pay compared to competitors. Very rarely will they bring anyone in at the Manager level who has not been an associate, and they often low-ball associates who have more experience (e.g., they will pay and treat a recent college grad the same as someone with a Masters and 2-3 years of experience) and then expect you to stay in your associate position at a low pay grade for 2-3 years before getting promoted. Horrible managers who don't care about pushing all of their work down on lower level staff. My advice: avoid this company all together. They churn out associates at such a high rate and could care less about it. They only start investing in you as an employee when you stick out the stress for 4-5 years. Heed the advice of other lower ratings and look somewhere else.

Pros

Truly a great company to work for, they care so much about work/life balance. Everyone is kind and they are like family.

Cons

It can be hard working from home because you never see your coworkers and sometimes you lose that momentum.

Pros

Clear company structure, processes, and tools. Professional development funds available. Easy-to-use and high-quality benefits. Pay is fair for the work.

Cons

"Company is family" mentality, sanitized rather than straightforward communications from executives, poor training, unclear standards of success, vague professional growth guidance and no clear paths towards becoming the ideal professional at this company.
