      Pros

      I was really attracted by the great mission to scale proven solutions to improve the lives of millions. There was also a lot of focus on people management and mentorship. It suited my interests and style of working very well that building systems, improving cost-efficiency and professional management were encouraged and rewarded.

      Cons

      They work was fantastic, but I didn't realize till I left that it was so cutting edge for the sector. I wish success and innovation were celebrated more.

      Exciting time at Evidence Action

      Pros

      Evidence Action made a great call hiring Danielle as CEO. She's brought real clarity to our priorities and strategy at a time when it was needed. Her focus on people is strong and I've appreciated her engagement. We've been navigating the messy middle that is typical for an org at 10-15 years, but our path forward feels clearer now. I'm excited to see where we're heading!

      Cons

      As we entered a new stage of growth the last two years, it has been bumpy at times. There's still work to do on internal processes and ways of working.

      Wonderful place to work

      Pros

      Evidence Action is a mission-driven organization that genuinely lives its values. The work is meaningful, impact-focused, and grounded in data, which makes it especially rewarding to be part of the team. Leadership is thoughtful and accessible, and there is a strong culture of trust, collaboration, and respect across teams. People here are smart, humble, and deeply committed to doing good work without ego. I’ve also appreciated the organization’s openness to learning and improvement—there is a real willingness to invest in systems, processes, and people to support long-term sustainability. Work-life balance is generally respected, especially considering the global nature of the work.

      Cons

      As with many fast-growing, mission-driven organizations, some processes and systems are still evolving. This can occasionally mean ambiguity, shifting priorities, or heavier workloads during peak periods. Cross-functional coordination can sometimes take extra time due to the organization’s scale and distributed teams.
