Pros

Just some of the HQ staff is supportive to the field office staff,primarily HR staff and some finance staff in regional offices.

Cons

Bed HQ leadership, very bad selection of senior staff at the field , not fully reliable HQ support,lot of gossiping,hard work environment,usually would end up doing other people's job,in general very unprofessional work environment.Country Directors have unlimited power and allowed to do whatever they want even against the very week policies off the company.The Company funding is mostly through the Grants and in most cases these grants are wasted as most of it does not reach the target groups but ends up in the hands of the local staff through the various corruption schemes.

Terrible organisation

Pros

Opportunity for a lot of visits to the field. My area at the time was non existent so I had the opportunity to develop it from the ground up.

Cons

At the time I worked at RI it was completely centralised with the CEO who would undermine managers and issue directives to anyone he wished. Terrible management, Country Directors had little control over strategic decisions and budgets, exploitative programmes (beaded bracelets and necklaces made by IDPs in Palestine and Sudan and then sold on the RI website for $15). Worst workplace culture of anywhere I have ever worked, made worse by diabolical HR policies and treatment of staff.

Not a good place to work right now

Pros

younger employees are dedicated and get experience

Cons

younger employees are not taken advantage of in terms of skills and they are pushed into departments out of their expertise without incentives or promise of upward growth.. in fact there is no path for upward growth and it often is looked down upon when asked for.
