Pros

Dedicated country staff and technical directors

Cons

Poor leadership. Old CEO was inspiring but mismanaged the company. New CEO has no vision. Does not respect senior staff. Says he wants to grow the company. But he has not won any big proposals. Many changes to the company but he does not share information with staff. Lots of people are unhappy and looking for new jobs.

Pros

Small team, flexible management style, no micromanagement, opportunities for growth and working across sectors, remote work environment, opportunities for travel

Cons

small team so there are times where the word loads are a lot, other support divisions were not properly staffed so you have to take over some of those tasks

Pros

Interesting projects, global exposure, and smart colleagues. Opportunities to take on responsibility early.

Cons

Leadership structure is top-heavy, with many senior roles but fewer technical staff. Communication from executive leadership can be inconsistent, and priorities shift suddenly. The recent split between nonprofit and for-profit sides caused significant stress, mistrust, and internal tension among staff, which affected morale. The strategic focus is now shifting more toward private-sector/pharma projects and less toward LMIC systems work.
