Pros

The people at SI were excellent to work with. The company itself had a small business feel despite rapid growth. For example, there was an unofficial open door policy that included the CEO and senior management. It was also relatively easy to switch departments or try new project types.

Cons

Work-life balance was poor and staff went to extremes to meet deadlines. Most employees were issued laptops and continued working at night or over weekends.

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.
