Recurring nightmare - Anonymous employee DAI Employee Review

Highly professional, top notch technical experts in several fields

Work subject to USG funding

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

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.
