Pros

Strength of teams in the field, really trying their best to serve beneficiaries effectively and with dignity, some more cutting edge programming than other NGOs out there.

Cons

High staff turnover in HQ and in the field, burnout, salaries not enough to live on in NYC if you are married with kids. Difficult to advance in international programs as a non-singleton.
