Pros

Incredible mission, dynamic international environment

Cons

I had a manager with anger management issues and the organization was aware of the challenges but still allowed her to manage people. Bureaucratic environment.

IRC review

Pros

The IRC does great work and they have a good mission.

Cons

All staff is completely overworked, under resourced. Not sure where all the donations to the IRC goes- the IRC does not pay for it's programs in the US. The programs are required to secure their own funding to operate, IRC pays the rent for the space, that is it. A lot of turn over and burn out.

Work-life balance difficult

Pros

Personal growth and professional development opportunities are many (at least in HQ), mostly everyone is a delight to work with, wonderful inspiring people who are truly motivated by clients and love what they do.

Cons

There is a lot of talk that compensation is low, it's difficult to move up, and work-life balance is hard to strike. Also that it can be too "top-down" from HQ to the field staff.
