Pros

Great knowledge-expanding environment (Brown-bag lunches, guest-speakers); Everyone cares about humanitarian issues; Overly-friendly co-workers, regardless of which department you work in; Great office layout and physical location on the Waterfront;

Cons

A bit superficial sense of community; mis-communication of what interns can expect; would be great if more opportunities for networking were provided (for interns). Departments should communicate with each other better (I accidentally got accepted for two internship positions simultaneously).

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.
