Pros

- Network of social innovators/Fellows - Local changemakers (employees, partners) who have working knowledge of local systems - Powerful mission - Values empathy and most people involved have good intentions

Cons

- Values "senior" colleagues rather than developing junior ones despite pushing the youth changemaker agenda - People here have a high rate of burnout - Need to decentralize properly and not treat local offices as a way to earn better revenue for central matters

Pros

International organization with a global team

Cons

Poor leadership. No one seems to know what they are doing. Very bureaucratic so decisions are made slowly. Leaders also lack empathy which is a core skill they sell

Pros

Clearly people are never able to get fired here Pay is better than it used to be Remote for now

Cons

- Will be forcing into the office asap based on out of touch senior leadership - Very toxic culture from the CEO/leaders, throws tantrums about people taking vacations or maternity leaves - every straightforward system (payroll, HR, office management) is RIFE with incompetence. Nothing will be done correctly ever without begging. -prepare to be micromanaged by incompetent leaders until the project is shelved
