Pluspunten
1. People: An opportunity to work with amazing, passionate people. You never know how big a rockstar is the guy sitting next to you! 2. Entrepreneurial culture: Both a pro and a con. There are no rules on who can do what, and thus its a great opportunity for proactive people to seek greater responsibilities and progress in careers quickly. 3. Exposure: With ops in over 25 countries, its a great opportunity to work in new geographies, meet new people and immerse in new cultures 4. Lifestyle: Though a non-profit, it ensures that you're taken care of rather well. (Read stays in good hotels, traveling, etc.)
Minpunten
1. Managerial gap: Though the analysts and associates are amazing and most brilliant, lack of leadership becomes evident at the Manager - Associate Director - Director levels. This a major driver of people leaving around the ~2Y timeframe 2. Lack of systems: Read no formal feedback system, management reviews, career appraisals, etc. What this means is that CHAI is a world of many teams, and your experience could be as good or as bad as your manager's leadership and team building skills.
