The people working there are passionate about what they do. It feels great knowing your tasks are making such a difference. You really see how your efforts pay off.
Cons
Large organization so more difficult to move up- does have a plus of allowing you to move departments and learn new skills though
Generally great people working closest with you and interesting programming opportunities around the world in the International Services Department.
Cons
Poor leadership and lack of clear vision
Not many opportunities for advancement for junior staff
Recent budget cuts will further hinder advancement, creativity and new opportunities for international services
People with a lot of experience, lots of younger people, great pay
Cons
Rigid bureaucracy, rigid HR requirements that make advancement difficult, very stovepiped
