Pros

Very committed professionals, and have a positive attitude and approach to development. Company does good work, and does it ethically. Company is family friendly, very generous paid family leave, etc. Compensation is fair. Company is employee owned, and there are generous incentives to become an owner. Employee ownership allows for a more collaborative culture.

Cons

Just went through a minor re-org and it's still having minor growing pains. Company is also facing the industry wide issue of increased competition on proposals.

Pros

Strong culture of integrity. Absolutely spectacular colleagues. Super interesting work.

Cons

Basically denuded of staff due to USAID cuts. Upper management had become obsessed with performance against metrics that were poorly fit to the business, and were focused entirely on how they might meet those metrics this week, without looking ahead to how to make structural improvements over the longer term.
