Pluspunten

- Very focused on audits, regulations, following policy - Good reputation in the field - Fairly good benefits

Minpunten

- Stark division between "project management" and "technical" staff, meaning unless you have at least 10 years of experience, you will be stuck doing endless administrative minutiae, with no chance to show or even develop your other skills - Very difficult for junior/PM staff to get ANY interesting work, leading to endemic low morale among this group - Very by-the-book, hierarchical, micromanaging - Opportunities for advancement/recognition basically limited to who you know (i.e., if someone influential takes an interest in you)--otherwise, very difficult to showcase or even develop your technical skills - Tone-deaf, out-of-touch senior management

Pluspunten

Strong culture of integrity. Absolutely spectacular colleagues. Super interesting work.

Minpunten

Basically denuded of staff due to USAID cuts. Upper management had become obsessed with performance against metrics that were poorly fit to the business, and were focused entirely on how they might meet those metrics this week, without looking ahead to how to make structural improvements over the longer term.
