      Pros

      Leader in industry with strong global presence. Large organization with with well established systems and policies. It is a learning organization that offers a great place for new staff to gain experience in the field. Country based staff have good support from HQ.

      Cons

      The organization is very HQ driven and new initiatives/ policies don't always reflect the reality or current priorities on the ground in counties.

      Nice people, no practical solution for work life balance

      Pros

      On the whole the people who work at the IRC are nice and good at what they do. People are cause-driven which creates a common set of values and goals. The London office is good socially. Some of the Senior Programmes staff in New York are excellent leaders.

      Cons

      Driving business development with insufficient consideration for the need to properly resource teams or even to fill existing vacancies before raising targets. This puts staff under huge amounts of pressure and leads many to work constant overtime and creates a poor working ethic/environment. There is an inconsistency of salary amongst staff members both within the same and different units. People management skills should be ensured, and invested in more heavily.
