      Not a great place to work except for good colleagues

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As there are many staff from different teams like cities, water, transport, one would find a healthy and interactive office environment

      Cons

      There is excessive high handedness among top bosses in deciding projects, work for staff, staff performance and reviews and if you don't oblige to your boss your are gone!

      Pros

      Dedicated, passionate, and super-smart colleagues.

      Cons

      Senior management's inability to make decisions, disregard for how significantly delaying or changing decisions impacts others charged with executing those decisions, lack of transparency at the top - particularly around how money gets dispersed. Zero career path for anyone coming in at lower levels - WRI much prefers to hire from outside rather than giving opportunities to hard workers internally. Senior managers and Executive leadership are committed more to their ego than being effective managers. Some teams are better than others in terms of work-life balance - you are very silo-ed depending on which program or ops team you're on.
