The worst company ever which it gives a bad name to international development industry
Pros
The only pros working for this company is that since it pretty much has a monopoly with DFID funded project (through being devious, cheating and lying to win the tender) you might get to work in some interesting projects and countries
Cons
So the company it’s technically an outsourcing company that implements projects on behalf of various statutory donors like DFID, USAID, DFAT etc. It operates like a temping recruitment agency whereby it finds experts on LinkedIn hires them and pay say £200 per day and changes the Client/DFID £ 700 per day for that person. This is how the company makes its money by paying people peanuts and charging the client lots of money. Don’t be fooled by their communication propaganda the company its nothing like how it describes itself on their website or other social media. The organisation culture it’s the most toxic place that I have ever had the misfortunate to work in. The game of Thrones characters look armature in comparison to the senior management/partners of Palladium. If any of you who might be misfortunate to be lured by their lies I urge you to reach out to a couple of random ex-employees to get the inside story on this scrupulous company
