Pros

Good opportunities to take on interesting work, great team.

Cons

Senior management throw around buzz words like, "mentorship", "professional development", etc. a lot but don't seem to understand how to implement that. Not enough work/life balance, and gaps in communication cause things to be missed. Frequently putting junior level folks on much too demanding projects and creating risk. Glass ceiling for junior practitioners is low.

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.
