Pros

Well informed on MENA issues as well as in depth knowledge on how DC works: The Hill, WH, State and the Think Tank world. Excellent relations with other organizations and stays on top of developments in the region and DC making it a true hub for all things related to Democracy in the MENA region and US policy. Finally, it is one of the best places for interns as the experience is hands on and includes considerable content (not just photocopying).

Cons

Small and strapped for funding. Management is a bit too involved and does not delegate enough often resulting in unnecessary delays in work and constrained space for creativity.

Pros

POMED has bright and motivated staff and you feel that you are part of a team. The work being done is extremely valuable and you gain key skills in a supportive atmosphere. POMED also has great connections with other organizations.

Cons

The team is small so there is not a lot of opportunity to work there. They would need more funding to expand their staff and their reach. They are also fairly new and less well-known than some other organizations.
