Pros

- working with local team is great! empathetic culture with smart and fun people - working with Fellows is a life-making experience - flexible work structure; self-initiated schedules and KPIs

Cons

- working with global teams exposes the lack of diversity in top leadership; most people of color are in junior or middle management - dissonance with mission of "everyone a changemaker" yet heavily focuses, promotes, and funds only individual leaders rather than teams - big gap between salaries of the junior and middle management and senior management - pushes overburdened, under-resourced developing country teams to overpromise KPIs while hesitating to pour resources and funding into them in the name of "entrepreneurial culture"

Pros

Smart people, flexibility, interesting work focus

Cons

Low salaries with no likelihood of making "what you're worth" given strict salary bands, no management culture, loses good people left and right, invasive interview questions and bases role decisions on personal questions instead of track record.
