Pros

Great co-workers, highly professionals, collaborative, friendly and mission-driven. They are committed to deliver high quality services to the global development community. Nice working environment (office space, fresh food and beverages). Flexible schedules and very international atmosphere.

Cons

Staff is overworked. The number of projects to be implemented regularly exceeds the staff capacity. High turn-over aggravates the situation. Management model focused on revenue, the importance of people and their well-being only seems to be a marketing slogan. Leadership team is very detached from operations challenges. Salary disparities between staff is tremendous, no transparency on salary structure nor clarity on career development opportunities. Unclear structure, processes and translation of company objectives into team and individual objectives.

Hi, and thank you for sharing your Devexer experience with us! We're lucky to have such wonderful people on the team (and that's also a part of our interview process design). You mentioned that you had to review a lot of videos. Is there something we could to do make the video review process better? If so, what would you recommend? Thanks again!

Pros

Good mission, pretty laid back

Cons

Beware, Employees outside DC are actually contractors expected to work 40+ hours a week, but without benefits like retirement, healthcare, or the reliability of a W2 role.
