Pros

Decent pay for a government job Good benefits Good Mission

Cons

- Not transparent about decisions. Very cagy and impersonal about salary and internal processes. - Very disorganized and rushed in onboarding under the new GHTASC contract with USAID--pretty embarrassing honestly. The disfunction continues 12 months into the contract. - Pay levels not always consistent across employees. New hires sometimes get better pay offers and current employees unable to negotiate for higher salary in practice.

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.
