Pros
- Good learning and growth opportunity for young people who want to start a career in International Development or Monitoring & Evaluation - Junior staff members can get a great exposure to project management and a significant amount of responsibilities - Great opportunity to work on evaluation projects in different sectors (public health, education, capacity building, agriculture, environment, etc.) - Lots of dedicated, smart and fun people - Some improvements in work/life balance after the company adopted a clearer flex time policy - Good benefit (health care package, professional development fund, flexible/teleworking schedule)
Cons
- The company relies heavily on USAID work, and its ability to diversify the client base is unknown - Little training or guidance on how to manage a project - most project managers/assistants are learning by doing
