Pros

Most DAI employees got into the field because of their humanistic beliefs, and it shows in the company culture. Get paid to travel to cool places.

Cons

Can work unpaid overtime during busy seasons, but that is essentially the norm at every international development contractor.

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.
