Business Outlook

Pros

ISO certified, well organized company. Chance for graduates with a few years of desk work to become Chiefs of Party on big USAID projects

Cons

What drives Chemonics is no loger mission and values international development needs, but pure profit making for a few folks driving the ship

Chemonics is the A team

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a lot of opportunities for advancement and gaining professional experience. If you want to try out a new role you can, if you want to do work in the field you can. Chemonics is welling to take a chance on its new employees.

Cons

There is a lot of change and nothing seems to make sense. It is a easy to get distracted by all the change and get further away from doing the development work.

Pros

Dynamic, high-energy organization Nice offices downtown--convenient for Md, Va, and DC residents Most people are decent, intelligent, kind, and interesting Professional development opportunities (mixed bag though)

Cons

Losing a lot of very good people Pay and benefits are dwindling (as stated by another reviewer, the meager 401K match is now gone altogether, and what's covered under the medical plans has changed a lot this year--this was not communicated properly) Work/life balance does not exist for most people Bidding policy Cliques
