CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great healthcare benefits, decent learning experience

Cons

Poor work - life balance; low salaries; not enough training and onboarding; not enough accountability at the director and upper leadership levels, so that lower level employees get thrown under the bus if/when things go wrong. Employees are given $2000 for professional development, but do not have enough time to actually use it. Sink or swim attitude to the work, and employees are held responsible for any misunderstandings that result from incomplete or improper training.

Fun environment; high burnout

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Social atmosphere, opportunities for interesting technical work, and hard-working colleagues to learn from

Cons

Project portfolio satisfaction is the luck of the draw, and most mentorship and technical learning opportunities must be explicitly sought out. If you're not in the good graces of the company's upper crust, you'll be denied opportunities for growth. Relentless attention to client satisfaction comes at a cost, and staff burnout is common.

Program management intern

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Given that their program assistants, associates, and managers worked an incredible amount of hours, interns were given huge responsibilities. So we learned a lot and got to leave while permanent employees were stuck with their contracts late into the night. It was a young office, so they got away with it. If everyone was in their 40s, they would have had to pay significantly more. Great contracts to build contacts in the international development field.

Cons

There's an obvious in-crowd--you know normal office politics. Every single employee seemed overworked and unhappy with work-life balance.
