Pros

Some of the best coworkers I've ever had, felt like a family. Most of the staff are very passionate about the work and doing a good job. Offered AMAZING benefits that I didn't appreciate until I left. Towards the end, conversations were starting about improving work/life balance and increasing job satisfaction among staff. Job satisfaction tends to depend on which arm of the company you work for.

Cons

Poor work/life balance for most staff that allow that to be the case. I was able to push back and keep to a roughly 40 hour work week most of the time. Managers really cared about teaching me and mentoring me. Despite having little to no experience, I was eventually able to conduct an evaluation, and provide technical input just through on the job training.

Pros

- Good learning and growth opportunity for young people who want to start a career in International Development or Monitoring & Evaluation - Junior staff members can get a great exposure to project management and a significant amount of responsibilities - Great opportunity to work on evaluation projects in different sectors (public health, education, capacity building, agriculture, environment, etc.) - Lots of dedicated, smart and fun people - Some improvements in work/life balance after the company adopted a clearer flex time policy - Good benefit (health care package, professional development fund, flexible/teleworking schedule)

Cons

- The company relies heavily on USAID work, and its ability to diversify the client base is unknown - Little training or guidance on how to manage a project - most project managers/assistants are learning by doing
