      Amazing People, Needs Some Management Help

      Pros

      I loved working there. The people were wonderful, enthusiastic and so driven. They truly inspired me to think of a career beyond my self-made limitations. I trusted everyone there.

      Cons

      Again, I loved everyone there but holy smokes were they overworked. I was a program assistant and doing the job of five people. I love being versatile but it was a lot. I loved my boss but they were constantly stressed and getting squished under the mountain of tasks.

      Great mission, a little disorganized

      Pros

      You get to work with people from all over the world, different walks of life, and different cultures- to me that is invaluable life experience and I appreciate it so much. A very important mission and the work is actually making a difference in our clients lives. Lots of PTO, pretty good benefits (health is changing in 2023, a little more expensive for the option that was most comparable to 2022's plan), a culture of addressing and speaking about systemic racism and power imbalances, but... it feels like it ends at that conversation. at least there is a conversation for a start. Pays better than other NGOs.

      Cons

      Pay is underfunded for the work being done, disorganized, leadership isn't really aware of the day to day of program staff. lots of policies, procedures, and systems. Feels quite silo'd. I have provided professional feedback about my manager more than once and haven't seen any sort of change in their behaviors, which is a bit disheartening.
