Pros

I think this company generally does quality work in the development and impact evaluation field, and is well-respected by donors.

Cons

The company is growing very quickly, and they seem eager to place people in positions for lucrative government contracts. As a result, people end up placed in positions that are not a good fit for their qualifications.

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.
