Pros

Impactful Mission: Join a team that's dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of millions of people affected by crisis and conflict globally. Professional Growth: Benefit from a culture that encourages learning and development, providing opportunities for skill-building, training, and career advancement.

Cons

The nature of the organization's mission means that employees may be exposed to emotionally challenging situations, dealing with the consequences of conflict, displacement, and crisis on a daily basis. This can take a toll on the mental and emotional well-being of staff members, requiring a strong sense of resilience and self-care to effectively manage the stress and emotional strain that can come with the work. However, the organization typically provides support and resources to help employees cope with these challenges and maintain their well-being.

Pros

The IRC is one of the largest INGOs with a budget approaching or exceeding $1 billion. It is present in crisis countries and therefore places great emphasis on emergency response, in particular support for refugees and internally displaced people.

Cons

Because of its focus on emergency response, long-term development goals are not sufficiently reflected in the organisation. Also, compared to other large INGOs, IRC is relatively centralised and vertical.
