Pros

Working at IREX in Belgrade was an incredible experience. I had the opportunity to collaborate with a passionate, international team focused on innovation and media development. The environment encouraged creativity, initiative, and continuous learning, and I was able to contribute meaningfully to projects that had real impact. I particularly valued the strong team culture, the chance to work across diverse projects, and the support for professional growth and development. It was a place where I felt challenged, inspired, and truly part of something meaningful.

Cons

Projects could be fast-paced and demanding, requiring strong time management skills. Working across multiple teams and international offices sometimes meant navigating different processes and communication styles. Limited resources at times required creative problem-solving and flexibility.

Pros

Flexibility for expectant parents and parents of young children.

Cons

A few years ago, the organization spoke boldly about empowering youth and championing diversity, equity, and inclusion. Yet over the past 18 months, it has quietly erased every reference to those commitments from its mission, values, and strategic focus. In a bid to align with the current administration, the organization has shifted its focus to artificial intelligence (AI), and its leadership team now reflects the administration's priorities. It presents as very inauthentic when it mutes the equity-driven efforts it once claimed were central to its identity.
