Pros

Big company, with lots of employment opportunities worldwide. Many high quality, innovative programs. Many very experienced and knowledgeable staff. Solid salaries, depending on one's salary history.

Cons

Not enough understanding that people are the key to organization's success. Hence, relatively poor talent retention efforts and opportunities for staff professional growth.

Pros

Strong culture of integrity. Absolutely spectacular colleagues. Super interesting work.

Cons

Basically denuded of staff due to USAID cuts. Upper management had become obsessed with performance against metrics that were poorly fit to the business, and were focused entirely on how they might meet those metrics this week, without looking ahead to how to make structural improvements over the longer term.
