Pros
Great relations with UNHCR, good reputation, overall without significant fraud. It has a very good presence in all countries in conflict.
Cons
Un-principled, professionally shallow, parochial in their management. I started working with them attracted by their reputation. However, what that reputation does not mention is the sky-high turn over of expat staff due to poor management, frustration with decision-making processes at senior level and the clear protectionism exercised by the Danes in the team. Very nontransparent and all good Scandinavian principles about equality, participation, worker rights, etc. went through the window the moment DRC step out of Denmark. I still wonder how donors keep giving funds to this organization, although I understand why serious ones like DFID, USAID, etc. would not entertain the idea of dumping their funds on that bottomless pit.
