Pros

It's diverse ans people have warm engagements. RCTs are the norm and I have learnt to think more critically about change and data quality. A really good place to build your experience in research Impact Evaluation and RCTs.

Cons

Work load can be to heavy for people resulting into longer working hours in a single day, but payment for all this seems to be incomparably low.
