Pros

- Great exposure to the field without being siloed - Strong personal relationships and work atmosphere - Never boring - Well-intentioned staff and management - Opportunities to participate in field work

Cons

- Junior and mid-level staff are over-worked and often have poor work-life balance - Growth and a few poor hiring decisions have put pressure on mid-level staff to make up for others' lack of billability and the lack of adequate financial and supervisory support - Reorganization has given less emphasis to strong mentor/supervisor relationships

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.
