Pros

Some great programs and individuals working for the organization. Some of Mercy Corps' programs really are making a difference to people living in some of the toughest locations across the world.

Cons

Like many organizations, senior management is full of nepotism and rewards those who toe the party line. People who point out some of the obvious organizational challenges are quickly kicked to the curb.

Cons

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