Pros

Very flexible work schedule (as a previous reviewer stated - you don't even need to show up to the office)

Cons

Generally inept management at both mid and senior levels; hiring and promotions based on personal relationships rather than skill or experience; decreasing quality of technical work; senior management are all part-time and rarely in the office; director level staff have limited experience, especially management experience; business development is overworked and not strategic about opportunities

Pros

The name of the company leads people to believe it is an impactful place to work for. It's not.

Cons

The new administration shut down nearly all work at SI because of the way they handled USAID. There is a skeleton staff now, but the good workers have moved on.
