Pros

One of the most respected human rights organizations internationally. HRW does not receive funding from governments, which allows for independent agenda setting and objective reporting. Salary comparatively higher than other human rights organizations. Leadership open to feedback and input from staff.

Cons

Given the size of the organization, action and response tends to be slower. Reports take too long to be published.

Pros

People are amazingly intelligent and have loads of interesting experience. It's easy to feel good about the work you are doing. Great for the resume.

Cons

Support staff are not always treated with appropriate respect, even though most are very qualified and dedicated workers. There is zero mobility for support staff. Interns get all the interesting work.
