Fantastic mandate... horrible working conditions and management

Pros

Mandate, context of intervention, field work are great. Good compensation and benefits but only for FTA/TA.

Cons

Horrible management in HQ: too many political games, poor communication, no vision and no guts. It can be very difficult for commited staff trying to do their best, working passionately as they are frequently not listened to nor trusted. People eventually stop trying to come up with solutions and follow their managers decisions silently...or they quit. Very frustrating experience when you know that the ultimate mission is to support people in need and instead of that you just see powerful managers prioritizing their careers. Poor HR support & advice (they are in Budapest far from your concerns). Career opportunities are limited without intense networking and competition is high for every position. Definitely a toxic working environment.
