Review of Compassion as an Intern - International Program Learning Intern Compassion International Employee Review

Great people... great mission. Incredible to be a part of such a life-changing ministry to some of the most impoverished children in the world.

Expectations are very high to do so much with relatively little resources.

Everyone is attracted to the mission, at least at first. There are some exceptional benefits in terms of work flexibility, and an overall sense of making a meaningful impact in lives.

Things move slowly, and direction is often unclear to the point that staff lose motivation. The organization is undergoing financial stress with no clear remedy, and there are very limited opportunities for growth. It's frustrating to see pet projects get resources while true organizational needs go unattended. The medical insurance offering has been almost worthless, though Compassion tries with a HSA plus-up.
