Pros

I can say I am blessed to have gotten the opportunity to work at WRI! Independence and respect to each and every employee is of utmost importance here. Not even during the toughest situations like COVID, did the organisation have a pay cut or any layoff! Every on from the CEO a contractual person and an intern is treated equally and with the same respect And even the views of an intern is given the importance The office is full of homely vibes and warm smiles

Cons

None. This place has everything an employee dreams of

Pros

Mission-driven work - Smart , friendly and passionate colleagues - Global impact - Collaborative culture - Strong reputation — Flexible / progressive work environment - Innovation-oriented Diverse international perspective A leadership that cares: the global leadership stepped in when U.S. funding was unexpectedly canceled, providing financial support for several programs for a few months to give teams time to secure new funding sources.

Cons

Resource constraints affecting efficiency: working with limited staffing and budgets sometimes made it challenging to execute projects efficiently Compensation compared to the private sector: salaries are noticeably lower than for private-sector roles, which is especially challenging in a city like NYC. Project direction influenced by funding priorities: I noticed that donor and grant priorities often shaped the direction of projects. Career progression tied to funding cycles: advancement opportunities often depended on program funding rather than purely on performance.
