Business Outlook
Pros
Chemonics offers a strong training program for USAID project management, regulations, proposals. There is a fairly young workforce which translates to many social events, new people to meet, and a pretty dynamic atmosphere. There are travel opportunities at all levels, which is not true for many of the same companies in D.C.
Cons
Compensation and salary increases are hard to get and arbitrary. Competitive environment and frustrating when opportunities are not equitably given based on technical or regional expertise, but rather, tenure and favoritism. There is a lot of talk about work/ilfe balance but it does not really exist.
