Pros

Great work environment full of dedicated and knowledgeable professionals. Senior management takes the time to get to know the interests of everyone, even the interns. SI provides a generous stipend for personal career development and shares local events that may be of interest to everyone. From reception to senior management, everyone is kind and dedicated to the work. I saw a lot of internal promotion during my year at SI. Great place to start or continue a career in international development.

Cons

Some staff in accounting are over stretched. May need to hire more employees in accounting.

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.
