Pros

- Funds for professional development opportunities - Diverse staff - If you compete well enough, you'll be able to get involved in some business development or technical (less administrative/operational) activities

Cons

- extreme pay gap between directors and the associates/managers who do most of the work . The pay is generally lower than other MEL organizations - No time for professional development opportunities despite the funding - Overworked, burnt out staff - Senior team that gaslights overworked staff and asserts there's no need for change or hiring - Boasts about the diversity of their staff, but does nothing to protect socially-disadvantaged staff from abuse at the workplace - Does not provide reasonable accommodations for staff with health disabilities

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.
