Pros

None that I have experienced in 8 years.

Cons

Terrible company to work for. Only concerned with profitability and extracting each penny out of every possibility without any concern for employee well being, rewards, and motivation. Zero regard for staff retention, you are free to leave anytime they don’t care for your contributions

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.
