Pros
+Mission-based non-profit organization, focusing on education, media, civil society, and technology +Great office building with lots of perks (coffee, tea, nespresso) and great location in downtown DC +Professional development opportunities and in-house trainings +Youthful organization with approximately 150 employees in the Washington, DC office and people who are passionate about their work +Opportunity for professional growth if you align yourself with the right people in the organization and fit within the organizational culture at IREX
Cons
-Divisions are somewhat siloed both physically as well as by projects/programs, therefore while there is cross-divisional collaboration, employees tend to gravitate to their own divisions to conduct business as well as to socialize -Low compensation -Professional development may be limited if you are not aligned with the right people and do not fit within the organizational culture at IREX -Toxic senior leadership (Advice: Investigate who your primary supervisor will be before accepting a position)
