      Pros

      Good brand name in the industry, looks good on paper, decent benefits

      Cons

      No room for advancement, arbitrary application of policies, weak management, no room for advancement, appearances matter more than substance. The whole organizaiton is dedicated to David Millbands political ambitions, not helping anyone

      Completely negligent with staff

      Pros

      Rewarding work. Wonderful clients. Smart, compassionate colleagues.

      Cons

      Despite IRC Way standards and practices, they do not support their staff or follow up appropriately on concerns addressed; investigations to gross misconduct are ignored. Culture of care is virtually non-existent, despite beautiful presentations that would indicate otherwise.

      Pros

      An incredibly meaningful mission and inspirational leader, President David Miliband.

      Cons

      Speaking only about headquarters personnel in NYC, they are not as transparent and progressive as they mean to be and many at the higher levels are free range, not following general leadership principles. Strategies are strong and impressive (with the IRC providing impact reports like no other humanitarian organization); culture is a drain with lots of outward cheerfulness that is more of a "show" than reality. That said, there are lots of incredibly talented people and if you are presented an opportunity, I'd suggest investigating whether the culture I've mentioned will be overcome by your love of the mission and the many wonderful people who work there.
