Vantaggi
- Large and old NGO - Very well resourced compared to a lot of other NGOs - Comfortable offices - There are some great people, but the passionate ones leave after a while
Svantaggi
- Leadership does not have experience or knowledge about international development, and does not let the experts lead in their technical areas - Over-staffed on top: global center, support offices, etc. but completely under resourced on the bottom: national offices and their local programs - Religion interferes with work, and dictates development agenda - Low salaries for those in the field, not transparent structure and distribution of benefits, salaries or raises - Double standards: all senior leadership has luxury contracts with additional perks, allowed to purchase alcohol and stay at resorts, while the rest of employees have to demonstrate more christian values, receive low wages in local devalued currencies and stay at hostels.
