Pluspunten

Work life balance is great, 3% annual inflation pay increase, Hybrid work model is great if you live close to an office, remote is alright if you don't. Always opportunity to take on more work or offload work as projects start and end. 95% of the people working here will be the kindest people you've ever met who genuinely want to be a force for change in the healthcare space. People will always be happy to answer your questions or lend a helping hand on difficult projects.

Minpunten

Growth is extremely challenging and rarely merit-based. You can excel in your role, then when your performance review comes around and you request a raise/promotion you will be encouraged to further your education (usually getting an MPH or an MBA) or to transition to a higher role at a different company and come back in order to "earn" the promotion. If a higher role opens at the company, they encourage you to apply but will almost always select the most qualified candidate they can pay the least, which ends up being someone in a role similar to your current one but from a different NGO. This actively discourages company loyalty and drive to excel in your own role, but rather drives one to seek employment elsewhere in order to grow.

Pluspunten

Staff had a more innovative mindset than most USAID-funded orgs I know, more open to new ways of working, better at adopting new tools.

Minpunten

In the end, they're still bureaucratic and the bureaucracy of their major funders (USAID and the Gates Foundation) means PATH is bureaucratic also, admin processes like recruitment are slow, and they're always chasing the funding instead of doing the right thing for the project and the client country.
