      Not for the faint of heart

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people. Fun environment. Emotionally satisfying. Experience that opens up a lot of doors. Opportunity to work on a range of projects and take on a lot of responsibilities.

      Cons

      Lots of turnover in the past few years; upper management still struggles to connect with the rest of staff. Organization needs to make more decisions based on proven successes and likely returns instead of gut feelings and competitive attitudes.

      Disappointment

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stable working environment, good for those who likes to work in a very organisational environment, yet not a suitable place for those who would like to make a impact to human rights causes. In short, it is a good working environment for bureaucrats (yes... it is so big and that it developed a working culture very close to governments!), but not for real activists and NGO workers. Good work life balance for those who does not need to deal with ad hoc work, very tough working hours for those that needs to.

      Cons

      Crazy politics both inter-departmental and intra-departmental, disrespectful for expertise, disrespect talents, does not value intelligence, little ownership of projects, whether you will actually enjoy your work heavily depends on your line manager, there are good line managers out there but they are not the majority.
