Pros

Company culture: people are always open to your input, there was a good effort to increase cross-sector work and bring different teams together. Plenty of opportunities for growth: you can move flexibly across projects and expand your knowledge in other technical areas. It's never boring!

Cons

International Development was a lot of work, that often spilled over my weekends and eveninigs. It's a very demanding job, which at the same time provides plenty of challenges and opportunities for growth. The company had to downsize significantly, due to federal cuts.

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.
