      Pros

      Work life balance, personal time to think upon a topic and read as much as possible

      Cons

      Very bad higher management and lot of non transparency. The director shows biasses and not open to all maintaining equanimity. Instead of empowering the managers keep on competing and maintaining secrecy. Very biased . The higher management takes advantage of your position as an Associate. They play very bad politics with you less bothered about your growth. And unfortunate are those who will get a bad and unsupportive micromanaging Program Head. And HRs are only for the name sake. The only thing here is if you speak up truth you are going to get screwed.

      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.
