Not the best comany to be with

Pros

Benefits are good because it's a non profit organization. If you know how to play politics you can sit there forever even with no knowledge for your job.

Cons

The formal goal of the company is to help people all around the world but they don't care even about their own employees. It's a non human treatment! In fact even on the meetings they called us a resource (not by name or title). Pretty rude management and a lot of ignorant people sitting there for years because of the benefits. I have found it's pretty hard to work in this non human environment.

IRC

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

-Large NGO with strong global presence. -Dedicated staff with many exceptional staff members, particularly field staff ("local" staff). - Great resettlement programs. - Great for getting your start in emergencies and getting exposure to multiple different contexts and countries.

Cons

- The IRC is quickly becoming a hollowed out brand. - Miliband has established an increasingly corporate culture that is driving bloated HQ staffing, at the expense of programs. - As others have noted, there are shockingly few people of color in the global offices or in leadership positions and no attention to diversity and inclusion. - Boys club culture still reigns, particularly at the field level and in some departments. Organizational blindness to sexual harassment. - Deep inequalities between staff - VPs and CEO in the top 1% income bracket, assistants in the lower 50%. - Often toxic work environment and hyper-competitive culture.
