Pros

I love working for an organization that is doing great things in the world and that also incorporates my faith. World Vision has an outstanding culture and employs people who are both smart and nice. Salary is competitive for the nonprofit sector, benefits are competitive for any sector.

Cons

The only cons are those that come with any large company: Sometimes takes longer than necessary to get things done, top-down communication could improve, etc.

Your review was encouraging to read, we appreciate that you took time to leave your thoughts and feedback regarding your 3+ years working with World Vision.

With Our Promise 2030, our new 15 year global organisational strategy, we're looking forward to many years of greater communication and innovation. Strategic Imperative number 3 "Collaborating and advocating for broader impact" especially touches on this. Our goal is to continue changing from largely working on our own, in our way; to partnerships, joint ventures and advocacy with those who share our goals. These partnerships will ultimately help with communication from the top down, and the bottom up! Thanks again for your review. We hope you continue to enjoy many years of being on the World Vision team!

Pros

What World Vision does around the world is AMAZING, the lives changed, the children that have received clean water, school, and other aid is why I work here. very few organisations can do this to the scale of World Vision. - really caring about what WV does in the world -size makes donor dollars go further (economies of scale)

Cons

some disconnect between upper level leadership and younger employees. the organisation likes to hire outsiders for mid to upper managerial positions. This can some times lead to a disconnect with new leaders and the rest of the organisation. like any other non profit, pay is low compared to the private sector but that is to be expected.
