Pros

The people and its volunteers.

Cons

The organisation has a haphazard approach to care for staff. At times concerning treatment of international and local staff. Very little career development or continuity for delegates/employees.

Pros

I love the mission and mandate of IFRC. In the field, IFRC does great work in supporting National Societies

Cons

The bureaucracy and inability of co-workers to find solutions rather than place roadblocks at every turn is mind-numbing. A toxic environment with lots of people whose poor performance or inaction is tolerated and seemingly encouraged.

Pros

Many, majority of people are passionate and professional idealists working for the better world. People truly believe in the mandate and this makes the working environment inspirational and informal. Working directly with the national societies, with the volunteers and with the communities brings flesh to the desk job.

Cons

There are many so called development cowboys that rule the game - the recruitment, the assignments and the procedures - of the organisation. In certain delegations and national societies there are people working with their own personal, financial or political interests in mind. This causes delay or direct standstill of projects and work, complicates things and leads to people not feeling motivated or empowered.
