Pros

Fantastic people, incredible amount of responsibility for interns, lots of trust and honesty - incredible skills development and firsthand knowledge of the resettlement process. Great place to learn how to prioritize and plan. Many interns get hired.

Cons

Turnover is huge, morale low, pay apparently quite low (interns are unpaid), and they have no money to replace employees who leave. Standard ngo problems, can't pay for what they're trying to do. Also experience depends on your department and direct supervisors, bad stories from other interns.
