Vantaggi
Amazing team of people who care about each other and have little time for office politics. Well distributed office hierarchy - plenty of opportunity to work closely with and learn from managers and directors. Exposure to seriously transformative projects across developing and developed nations worldwide, including travel opportunities once COVID restrictions return to normal. “Problems to solutions” focused work style keeps things exciting and provides new learning opportunities at every turn, which accelerates professional development. Flexible work from home arrangements available. Trusting employer that expects a lot from you, but gives a lot in return - perfect for employees that can stay internally motivated Plenty of fun corporate activities - Friday drinks, birthday and anniversary dinners, Xmas parties, etc.
Svantaggi
A private sector company operating in public sector industries - expect hard work and long hours [relative to pay], often with the slow-moving, repetitive and bureaucratic nature of government work. Lacks strong camaraderie and social culture that comes at companies with larger intake cohorts of analysts - this is essentially just the downside of a smaller company where most people work from home flexibly.
