Pros

- Almost all programs/projects are very rewarding to contribute towards - Chemonics is full of intellectuals and do-gooders motivated to create positive, sustainable impact around the globe... you just may not have time to tap into these networks (depending on your project/program) - Yearly professional development funds can be used for a wide variety of purposes including language courses

Cons

- YOUR INDIVIDUAL EXPERIENCE WILL LIKELY ENTIRELY DEPEND ON WHO YOUR SUPERVISOR IS ... some good, others decent, but plenty who are notoriously bad. - No flexible working arrangements for staff below a certain grade/tier (eg. they will force associates to relocate even if the rest of your team is fully remote) - Poor work/life balance - be prepared to have at least 10 hours of work a day but be expected to complete it in 8... - HR is there to defend and support management, not support most employees functioning as cogs a part of the overall machine - Management doesn't look kindly upon employees that aren't conformist by nature and bring fresh ideas and approaches to the table (eg. they want to mold associates into Chemonics-designed cogs to churn out ever more applications etc. vs. be a workplace that encourages the exchange of ideas to improve dev aid writ large and the impact of individual projects/programs) - Low pay scale for junior staff for a private company
