Business Outlook

Pros

Given that their program assistants, associates, and managers worked an incredible amount of hours, interns were given huge responsibilities. So we learned a lot and got to leave while permanent employees were stuck with their contracts late into the night. It was a young office, so they got away with it. If everyone was in their 40s, they would have had to pay significantly more. Great contracts to build contacts in the international development field.

Cons

There's an obvious in-crowd--you know normal office politics. Every single employee seemed overworked and unhappy with work-life balance.

Business Outlook

Pros

This is a company that until recently was a small business, and it has maintained its corporate ethos of quality and responsibility for delivering results. It has a young staff pool, and a very experienced top management team. It is now going after and winning larger contracts.

Cons

It is still feeling its way with respect to internal policies; a lot of decisions are ad hoc, with little reflection. Its business model depends a lot on getting 60-80 hour weeks out of junior staff,, and letting them burn out. This is because they consistently under-budget the projects to win the bids, then do what they can to try to deliver. As a result, there is a lot of turn over.

Pros

The people at SI were excellent to work with. The company itself had a small business feel despite rapid growth. For example, there was an unofficial open door policy that included the CEO and senior management. It was also relatively easy to switch departments or try new project types.

Cons

Work-life balance was poor and staff went to extremes to meet deadlines. Most employees were issued laptops and continued working at night or over weekends.
