Excellent people full of passion and knowledge, workplace culture leaves something to be desired.

Program coordinator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Wonderful people who are so passionate and knowledgeable about what they do, including many in leadership positions. It's a mission-driven organization.

Cons

Workplace culture is not as communicative and forward-thinking as it could be, often means working long hours in artificially lit cubicles. Management is working on better ways to harness the people power and technology available, but in the short-term that leads to extra workload and transition-related stresses.

Exciting mission, poor employee support

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

IRC has a broad impact and strong programming in places that need it most. The organization is well respected in the humanitarian community as hiring very qualified people--smart and dedicated. People seem to most like either working in the field or in senior management at the HQ level. IRC seems to be continuing to grow.

Cons

IRC is often more reactive than proactive so it often felt like playing catch-up, which perhaps is the nature for working for a humanitarian organization. It is extremely difficult to get a job unless you know someone who can get your application out of the depths of HR. IRC is generally regarded as one of the lower-paying NGOs and staff benefits and recognition are lacking. Staff are very overworked and because of the NGO, emergency response nature, many staff seemed to almost compete to be considered the most overworked/dedicated. Hard to get promoted because of power structures, politics, and high competition for positions.

Great humanitarian organization to work for

Program coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

smart, dedicated and committed colleagues. Organization values accountability and measures impact. consistent emergency programming and interventions for international operations; focuses on advocacy and lessons learned.

Cons

little career growth because of the size of the organization, tends to be very competitive to be transferred to another department particularly withing international programs/ field posts. they prioritize internal candidates for all positions so hard for an external candidate to get their foot in the door.
