Pros

Good service delivery in some areas.

Cons

The IRC is run like a corporation, not like a humanitarian organization. At headquarters, I was surrounded by careerists who never really reflected on the values of the work itself. It felt artificial and mechanical, and there was no room to grow.

Pros

The IRC holds itself to incredibly high standards of commitment and dedication to its work and mission, but also is taking necessary steps to invest in and support staff working towards this purpose. While you're not in the lap of luxury, with the IRC, you don't have to choose between making a difference and making a living for yourself. Medical benefits with this company are great and supportive of their women employees.

Cons

Employees are overworked and burnout is common. A gap exists between HQ and field staff that can improve.
