Pros

- Some of the colleagues were exceptional and contributed positively to the work environment. - The network of people associated with the organization was inspiring and provided valuable connections. - The international environment created a diverse and enriching atmosphere.

Cons

- The management experience I had was the worst ever, lacking the ability to lead and take responsibility, and displaying unprofessional behavior. - I'm really questioning what value Ashoka is actually creating.

ok for a short-term job, not for a career

Pros

The organization's mission and vision are promising. The people or changemakers that you meet are inspiring. The flexible hours are great. The conversations you become part of are thought-provoking.

Cons

I agree with the former review that says "lots of bureaucracy and jargon that prevents people from making real impact". The culture and how things work are the turn offs. There are many disorganized meetings that run too long without clear action steps, lack of career opportunities, management is always looking for sustainable funding, leadership team needs more DEI lenses when it comes to selecting fellows and leaders especially from developing countries whose innovation might now always seem "new"
