Pros

Premier international service organization leveraging acquaintanceship and friendship to do good in the world. Staff are imbued with a sense of mission. Staff were caring and went the extra mile. Volunteers with few exceptions are mission-driven international professionals who appreciate staff. Excellent benefits. Good international experience.

Cons

Ossified command and control management style. Very bureaucratic. Not open to new ideas, very risk averse, and personalistic. Not many admin positions, so non-managers waste time with the minutiae. Management is aware of the silo problem but has done little to address it. Very few defined career paths. Some areas are amazingly competent, but others are not.

Global organization (for the most part)

Pros

Global reach, with opportunities to travel and learn about different cultures. Good benefits and vacation. Some opportunities to be innovative - the organization has been working hard to make itself a better place to work.

Cons

Ineffectual middle management and lacking opportunities to grow within your area of exertise. Most people seem move up by changing departments/job types (for example, from awards coordination to grants management).
