Pros

As others have said, the people are what make IRC so great. Meaning the colleagues and most managers. There is a level of true care among the IRC staff, whilst doing remarkable work, that I have not experienced before.

Cons

Complete and utter incompetence from leadership. The very privileged white faces at the top of the chart represent fabulous travel and fiscal irresponsibleness. Do they rely on outside, extremely expensive consulting firms too much? I would say so. It is tragic watching the top 1% run this organization recklessly, even before the new administration.

Pros

Meaningful work, my team had a great supervisor who was willing to coach and mentor. Opportunities to travel.

Cons

Organization has an 'old guard' gate keeping promotion opportunities and the headquarter level. The industry itself is incredibly elite yet they strive to serve immigrant and refugee communities. If this organization can recognize their implicit/explicit role in colonization, perhaps they can work more collaboratively with local actors already doing this work.
