Pros

Some people are very passionate, and work very hard to make a difference.

Cons

Leadership is non-existent. There are small rogue teams that are highly political and yield a range of results. Security and safety in dangerous regions is shamefully overlooked and lives are lost on account of this lack of investment or concern. The latest abuse scandal is really sad, and highlights the weak leadership, including the board, and all senior members who waited for the press to pick up the story before taking any action.

Pros

It’s a very tough time to be in ID but MC continues to stay afloat and is trying to pivot in this new landscape. I maintain the staff that’s still here is some of the best of the best, everyone really cares and continues to challenge me and push our programs to do better.

Cons

Outlook is uncertain given donor environment. No real opportunities for professional growth. Ongoing RIFs and loss of talented staff.
