Pros

Very good benefits and employee support (particularly for a USAID contractor). Great way to work for USAID.

Cons

no transparency around salaries, what the different scales for different level Fellows. When asked about salaries, a range, increase one is met with hostility. This is an organization of mostly women and women run. Starting to feel like women keeping women down.

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.
