Pros

Great benefits, super smart colleagues, meaningful work. I had 5 weeks of vacation plus sick and holidays after 3 years.

Cons

Too focused on metrics and "measurable outcomes". Rarely given time for learning/professional development. Older employee pushed out for newer ones. Have a reputation in the broader NGO field for treating staff as disposable.

Pros

Incredible mission, dynamic international environment

Cons

I had a manager with anger management issues and the organization was aware of the challenges but still allowed her to manage people. Bureaucratic environment.

IRC review

Pros

The IRC does great work and they have a good mission.

Cons

All staff is completely overworked, under resourced. Not sure where all the donations to the IRC goes- the IRC does not pay for it's programs in the US. The programs are required to secure their own funding to operate, IRC pays the rent for the space, that is it. A lot of turn over and burn out.
