Pros

- great organization for entry-level employees to get their foot in the door - comparable compensation to other orgs; great benefits (12% contribution to pension!) - interesting and challenging projects - people at HQ and country offices are amazing to work with

Cons

- bureaucratic - not much room for growth after certain level; a lot of people leave and come back for higher level jobs - acquisition with AED was a nightmare and continues to be messy; lots of disorganization - roles and responsibilities of HQ departments not clearly delineated; program staff take on all realms of responsibility
