Pros

Incredible mission and world class international development experts. World Vision's transformational model is the most effective way to change poverty and we are seeing excellent progress as a result.

Cons

Constant re-orgs and cost cutting. The benefit is World Vision has a tireless pursuit to get as much money as possible to the field, however it can make for a challenging work environment at times.

Pros

Coming to work every day with a focus on helping others is a blessing and something you don't get in the for-profit world. Being able to pray among your fellow staff about the work is a true privilege. It's still a business and needs to be run as such. There is a fine balance to applying marketing rigor in a way that is mindful to the importance of seeking God first and considering the need to be relational with staff.

Cons

Recent years have meant a lot of transition at the leadership level. Often that translates to stress and frustration to the teams who are struggling with how to understand and apply new approaches and processes. In today's tight economies in the NGO world, we are being asked to do more with less. That puts pressure on the work/life balance and often limits career growth. As things improve in the future, these issues should resolve as well.

Pros

The work we do at World Vision is so meaningful and impactful. We are a Christian oganization with over 200 different denominations represented. Even though employees have different opinions, theologies and expressions of Christianity, we come together for a mission we believe in. The culture at WV is incredible -- supportive managers who invest in you, a wonderful leadership team, and tons of support both professionally and personally. Opportunity for growth, learning and professional development. A unique opportunity to combine your faith life and professional life. I would also say the compensation is good (compared to other non-profits) and the benefits are excellent.

Cons

Location. The Federal Way office is halfway between Seattle and Tacoma, and commuting from either location can be tough in terms of traffic.
