Pros

Mercy Corps' unique location in the lovely Portland, Oregon gives it a laid back atmosphere while still having passionate, hard-working folks who are creating positive change across our global portfolio. The company re-evaluates its direction each year, which is refreshing.

Cons

Moving between departments can be near impossible and be more based on personality and the sway your supervisor holds in the organization. The company claims to be family-friendly but our HR policies are anything but (though I hear they are changing for the good!).

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.
