Pros
You'll meet amazing people doing great work, you'll have many smart conversations with interesting people and you will also meet a few great coworkers.
Cons
The cons outweigh the pros for every single aspect of working at Ashoka. You can meet the same or even MORE amazing people doing great work elsewhere. You can have more impact elsewhere. You can have better life work balance elsewhere. You will feel more valued and more respected elsewhere. Ashoka is not a place for change makers and the hierarchy structure of decision makers is difficult to work with. I was so proud to work there and now I regret having stayed so long in a place where I had no room to thrive. Salaries and human resources practices are shameful and borderline illegal.
