Depends on your manager... HR is sub-par

Pros

so-so classes play-hard work-hard attitude lots of type-As

Cons

lots of cliques if your manager sucks, you will suffer and pay for their mistakes higher-up management relies on the bureaucracy to see 'what really goes on' favorites get the bonuses and the respect, rather than those that work hard compared to other companies I've been at, I was not impressed with HR, customer service, or the review process; I saw lots of 'good' people let go because their manager needed a scape goat too many employees are so focused on their job that the company mission and values don't trickle down to their pretty little heads -- but the CEO never seems to find out about these issues

Pros

Great people, and a great place to learn about the business side of international development.

Certain types of experience and growth, specifically in the technical sectors we work in, can be hard to come by.

Great place to get your foot in the door

Pros

A large variety of professionals you can work and learn from. You can find a large diversity of people with different backgrounds, experience and personalities. You will find at least a few people whom you can really learn from and enjoy working with. There are a lot of people in higher levels who are down to earth and happy to mentor you. You'll find a lot of different project to work with regardless of the region or department you are in. Trouble is sometimes getting people to embrace something new rather than what they are comfortable with.

Cons

Lack of work/life balance. Working long hours seem to be what is expected regardless of the efficiency in it. A very reactive workplace. Not much thought is put into improving processes or time management or preparing for the next "crisis". Debriefs are usually a waste of meeting time as nothing is really learned or implemented Poor management. A very disorganized management structure that promotes based on who you know and how long you've been employed rather than what your skills and accomplishments are. Very hierarchical with a lack of respect to the support divisions. It often feels like a bad high school movie with cliques and gossiping masked with lots of company social functions. If you plan in having a long career here, focus a lot on staying chummy with the main players.
