Pros

Very supportive environment with a big focus on professional development. A lot of effort went into onboarding new staff and ensuring a reasonable work-life balance. Generally everyone was very friendly and truly passionate about the work, which was very motivating.

Cons

As with any corporation, sometimes decision-making was not super transparent and could be political. However, as someone working in the mid-level ranks, I found that this did not impact me too much and I genuinely felt that most decisions were made for the best of the company rather than for the advancement of an individual.

Business Outlook

Pros

Company culture: people are always open to your input, there was a good effort to increase cross-sector work and bring different teams together. Plenty of opportunities for growth: you can move flexibly across projects and expand your knowledge in other technical areas. It's never boring!

Cons

International Development was a lot of work, that often spilled over my weekends and eveninigs. It's a very demanding job, which at the same time provides plenty of challenges and opportunities for growth. The company had to downsize significantly, due to federal cuts.
