Pros

IREX is a great organization to work for if you're passionate about program development. Their programs span a wide range of interests. The people who work there are passionate, dedicated, and friendly.

Cons

Like any international development agency, you will be expected to put in a ton of work, which is worth it if you're not overtime exempt. There can be some lack of communicate between management and projects don't always seem to be done in the most efficient ways. They don't seem to promote people unless you give them are reason to (i.e. "I have another job offer")

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.
