Pros

The employees that work here are great coworkers The organization is innovative for a large NGO People are open and there are lots of opportunities to learn about others roles They have really strong benefits for an NGO. Lots of vacation days, 403b match, pretty good healthcare

Cons

It is difficult to move up within the organization. There is so much competition that you often have to leave and come back in order to make yourself qualified for a more senior position.

Pros

Fellow workers are great, they all go above and beyond to help clients in a wide variety of matters, there is very little opportunity for advancement at this office which has led people to leave to advance their careers. While the general culture of work is good-all the general workers will assist each other any time it is needed, however there are times that management seems oblivious to the daily stresses and problems.

Cons

The primary complaint across the board is that salaries do not compare with others doing the same work in this area

Pros

Local offices have wonderful, passionate staff, many of whom were former beneficiaries One of the fastest responders to humanitarian crises displacing populations, highly specialized in our work One of the best, most innovation in refugee resettlement work domestically THe ability to work domestically on an international development issue with an organization that also provides aid internationally

Cons

HQ structure is way risk averse, doesn't trust local affiliate staff, high turnover in local EDs. Business processes are slow, paper heavy, systems aren't integrated, therefore communication suffers and local staff have a very disconnected view of the HQ vision and structure
