Pros
If you are a yes-(wo)man in the right social clique, and are willing to tirelessly do the work of your superiors for a fraction of the pay, FHI 360 can be a friendly place to work for a time. In the rare instances where the subordinates assume the reins, like when a director leaves suddenly, the company prospers.
Cons
FHI 360, is one of the most top-heavy, unorganized and directionless NGOs you can conceive of. Upper management is filled with underqualified and arrogant EX-PATs. It is one of the most caustic environments to work if you happen to voice any measure of collective sagacity. Intelligence, wisdom, tactical thought, and expertise is enthusiastically punished by upper management. Upper management starting from the Associate Directors, all the way to the C-Suite, is unfailingly filled with narcissistic, self-absorbed, conceited, trifling, inept, moronic, and oblivious individuals. Unsurprisingly, these individuals are terrified of their employees who are without a doubt better qualified and in reality handling the bulk of their work. However, those shouldering the bulk of the work rarely administer strategic direction. No opportunities for advancement. Hostile work environment for those not in the "drinking-buddies" club. Fraudulent usage of USAID funds to cover bloated overhead.
