Pros

Experience varies by country program, but the country program where I worked ran like a well-oiled machine. There was a lot of autonomy and room for innovation within your own job, but not much beyond that. The work was rewarding as the progress made was very tangible. Great non-salary benefits.

Cons

Salary was low compared to other NGOs in the country Not much innovation at the project design level Minimal room for promotion for international staff Minimal staff development for international staff Their development projects lack a sustainable vision as they are primarily accustomed to humanitarian aid.

Pros

IRC hires a fantastic group of people and provides employees with extremely rewarding work. Every hour you spend working here is benefiting someone else less fortunate.

Cons

The pay is abysmally low. It's unfortunate because it's a great company to work for, but you just can't sustain yourself financially at the current salary.
