      Good organization but quality of work experience can hinge on office leadership or supervisor

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Compelling and important cause - Strong brand and a well-resource organization allowing for meaningful and interesting wide range of work - Good entitlement package for staff - The people in general are passionate, committed and nice - Starting to become less tolerant of abuse of authority and maltreatment of staff

      Cons

      - It is certainly not for everyone. It is highly bureaucratic and a lot of time will be spent on processes - Expect to spend a lot and a lot of time on reporting, and systems, and meetings - Depending on leadership, the experience might vary greatly even within the same office as international staff rotate - Maintaining and honoring work life balance is extremely hard - It's an ambitious organization - in a good way- but also is highly demanding of its employees [a lot of right things will be said about staff wellbeing but in reality, you will be expected to do quite the impossible]
