Pros

CV builder. On CV project and client names look great (in reality - ???) New age office - (Ancient attitude) Easy working culture - (the firm can get you complacent about your own career) Flexibility - call it think tank, research, consulting, development, NGO - what ever you like and there is a phase when the firm thought it was one

Cons

Where do we start? - Lack of depth in any work - Infrastructure at the firm is very bad - Data Science is a misnomer - Inexperience leadership not adept at entrepreneurship. Zero business instinct and zero interest in building skills. Same place as when 5 years back - The day luck factor vanishes, firm will be doomed. Every time there is a challenge, some project saves the day. purely coincidence - no strategy - Off late leaders have in their circle experienced people who have surprisingly no sense of building teams

Pros

Small company with lots of experience. I was staffed on several projects under senior level people and provided with enough support that I felt comfortable working in a relatively new sector. I learned a ton about the water and sanitation (something I had no experience with) and was tasked with the prerequisite of understanding the structure of development work.

Cons

The work is reactive more than proactive, as with the majority of development work, so one might be tasked on projects, moved often, or placed outside of comfort zone.

Pros

I have been with Athena Infonomics for a little over 2 years now. The organization clearly is on a rapid growth trajectory and this has created some really interesting learning opportunities for me. It has a great peer group of professionals who are passionate about social impact and are willing to help each other out.

Cons

The work-life balance is a serious issue. While you learn a lot, the organization needs to find a way to smoothen out work allocation and improve work-life balance.
