Pros

Good relationship with USAID, concern about staff security

Cons

Hugely bureaucratic apparatus in DC and NC is totally divorced from reality and obsesses over documentation of every little action in order to shield the organisation from all potential legal liabilities. Senior management routinely display incompetence and inability to cooperate across departments. I witnessed senior managers scapegoating field staff and attempting to have them fired in order to cover up mistakes made by HQ staff. With such gross misconduct on a regular basis, is it surprising that the turnover rate in my department was above 70%?
