Pros

Great learning experience in international development and how USAID contracts work.

Cons

-You work for amazing missions/programs at little pay and can't receive the benefit of working towards the government student loan forgiveness program since they are a for profit. The government's 10 year student loan forgiveness program is for those who work for non-profits/government sector for 10 years, and sadly your time at Palladium will not count towards those 10 years since they are not classified as a non-profit (despite how low they pay).

Pros

great work environment; supportive environment; lots of professional development

Cons

not a lot of job growth for everyone (only a few director roles, and not many women were in leadership roles); annoying that to get promoted you had to apply to an open position instead of getting a cycle promotion, which was more difficult to get.
