Pros

The work is fast-paced but within the guidelines of structure and processes. Self-motivated, mission driven people will excel. My line manager allowed great flexibility (no micromanaging that noon-time walk!) and was very supportive, and my team was stellar. Overall, I could trust that everyone across the org is doing their best; the drama is minimal. The DC office staff is a very multi-cultural: the potlucks are amazing!

Cons

WV is huge, and the wheels often turn slowly. Tough environment due to the dissolution of USAID and changes at Dept. of State.

Pros

World Vision USA offers an incredibly rewarding mission-driven environment. The work directly contributes to helping vulnerable communities around the world, and that sense of purpose is deeply fulfilling. I had the opportunity to lead impactful programs, collaborate with global partners, and develop professionally. Leadership at the organizational level is inspiring and committed to transformational development and humanitarian response.

Cons

As with many large organizations, cross-team collaboration and communication can vary depending on department, hence flexibility is crucial to success. I don't really have any cons. It was a positive work experience with great people.
