Pros

A good company for short term experience and making professional contacts. Met some bright people I will know for years while working at Chemonics.

Cons

Chemonics is a short term company with most employees leaving within 1-2 years due to poor work-life balance. Leadership at Chemonics expects employees to work 10 hour days, 6 days a week, 52 weeks a year. For years employees spoke out about the poor work-life balance with no response from the executive management team. Over the last year Chemonics has lost some of it most valuable employees. Chemonics will be bankrupt within 2 years due to the reputation it now faces in the small international development community.

Pros

Truly a great company to work for, they care so much about work/life balance. Everyone is kind and they are like family.

Cons

It can be hard working from home because you never see your coworkers and sometimes you lose that momentum.

Pros

Clear company structure, processes, and tools. Professional development funds available. Easy-to-use and high-quality benefits. Pay is fair for the work.

Cons

"Company is family" mentality, sanitized rather than straightforward communications from executives, poor training, unclear standards of success, vague professional growth guidance and no clear paths towards becoming the ideal professional at this company.
