Pros

People are great for the most part. Some jockeying for position at the top, which detracts from the ability to do our jobs. But overall most people are in it for the right reasons.

Cons

The USAID closure has led to a massive downsizing in the company, with the loss of many old guard. This has led to a restructure, and whilst we are in the early days, currently the bumpy transition owes itself - at least in part - to politics within the organisation. Frustrating to see this and be affected by it. I'd say for most staff, questionable in terms of LT career opportunities, particularly for those at the entry levels and one above. Hopefully the good instincts of the good people (mostly in the US) will prevail, and that will lead (back?) to a happier company.

Pros

- Good company culture in general; the people they hire are good to work with, friendly and down to earth

Cons

- They overwork everyone and don't give anything in return. They don't praise the good, but question the bad after you're taking on the workload of several people. Also, the leadership unilaterally pushes their ideas on the workforce and then blames the outcome on the workers, even though the workers warned them what would happen if they went through with their bad ideas. Higher-ups clearly pick favorites, and promote them, and give them perks over other, more competent people.
