Pros

Generous contribution to 403(b), support for professional development

Cons

GHFP's salary negotiation process is ridiculous and is neither transparent nor logical. It is unclear how they determine years of experience. They have no understanding of what fellows actually do on behalf of USAID and are not equipped to make a determination of salary. GHFP is naive to think that fellows do not talk to one another and understand the major disparities in salaries between people with similar experience performing similar work. I would never recommend GHFP to a friend after the experience negotiating my salary and feeling undervalued, misunderstood, and marginalized. GHFP is only able to get away with this because people want to work at USAID.

Pros

Remote work with flexible hours as needed. Great to be a part of such mission driven work. Health insurance and retirement matching are incredible.

Cons

Experience can vary based on your program and PI/PD. There seems to be no accountability for PI/PD's and there's no way for employees to safely communicate concerns without fear of retribution or retaliation, leading to very toxic work environments where lower-level staff get the short end of the stick. Given that programs are grant-funded, PI/PD's can also cut/reduce staff's FTE and then delegate tasks to staff remaining without any salary/title change, leading to burnout, frustration and low team morale.
