      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -Large NGO with strong global presence. -Dedicated staff with many exceptional staff members, particularly field staff ("local" staff). - Great resettlement programs. - Great for getting your start in emergencies and getting exposure to multiple different contexts and countries.

      Cons

      - The IRC is quickly becoming a hollowed out brand. - Miliband has established an increasingly corporate culture that is driving bloated HQ staffing, at the expense of programs. - As others have noted, there are shockingly few people of color in the global offices or in leadership positions and no attention to diversity and inclusion. - Boys club culture still reigns, particularly at the field level and in some departments. Organizational blindness to sexual harassment. - Deep inequalities between staff - VPs and CEO in the top 1% income bracket, assistants in the lower 50%. - Often toxic work environment and hyper-competitive culture.
