Pros

I have been working at Projects Abroad for the past 4 months. The environment is amazing as there is a mixture of people from different nationalities and age groups. During my appraisal meeting, management create a tangible action plan in order to reach my objectives for my future career plan within the company. Feedback is provided in a constructive way to help employees improve and grow into their role. We regularly organise socials and barbecues. There are opportunities for working overseas.

Pros

The people of Projects Abroad are all lovely, with a great working culture where everyone is empowered to be themselves. I felt very welcomed from the start. I love the regular social activities within the company - from Friday bake offs, escape rooms, pizza lunches to even Karaoke! Projects Abroad have a tremendous work ethic and while focusing on helping towards making the world a better place, you feel as though you are making an impact for the greater good. I love working at Projects Abroad so much, that I came back to work here a few weeks after leaving for a new position. Projects Abroad makes you feel as though you are one big international family and I can’t wait to further my career here.

Cons

I can't think of any!
