Pros

Great benefits (retirement and health) Good pay for industry, especially for nonprofits Amazing mission Staff who deeply care about their work, and are committed to the people they serve

Cons

Provincial, unsophisticated management team incompatible with the business of running a global business Score keeping and “zero-some game” management culture leads to backstabbing and information hoarding, while rewarding sycophantic behavior Drain of talent since acquisition of AED (of both FHI and AED legacy staff); new organization has greatly reduced ability to deliver a quality product in many sectors HR environment at FHI 360 is disorganized, unhelpful and inconsistent. Policies vary between legacy AED and FHI staff despite the organization operating as one company (some policies are not even posted for employees to view).
