Pros
a) Great opportunity and platform to address deep poverty and inequality issues around the world; b) Committed,long-serving and knowledgeable staff (who unfortunately are leaving at a fast rate); c) High credibility with funders
Cons
a) Cocky executive leadership and spreading to some sycophants in the senior cadres; b) Sycophancy and boot-licking seems to be the way to remain in the organization; c) No commitment to several of the so called core values e.g. inclusion,equity and diversity manifested in "hidden" racialism and clear discrimination of certain people groups from ascending beyond certain levels in the organization. Other wise how do you explain somebody having worked for ten years but has only risen one step beyond the entry level yet has not been rated poorly in performance or even been suspended if s/he is that bad yet their bosses are persons who joined at much lower levels? c) Very inhumane HR practices where one can be dismissed at the whims of their manager for just being disliked; d) Poorly trained and equipped senior leadership/management staff : they anyway have ascended there through politics and boot-licking; e) Hypocritical leadership - the same person who has responded to some of the posts here claiming how deeply she cares about the people and the organization left after slightly below a year after literally wrecking havoc on long-serving staff through a high-handed approach in leadership...It wont be long after when other members of the Executive Leadership Team will not be sure what was the goal for all the changes they have brought about!
