Avantages

Well resourced and respected within the humanitarian community, good pay and benefits

Inconvénients

Too much focus on fancy new initiatives to the point where everything gets over complicated and things start to go wrong. An example is its budget management systems which are chaotic and lead to big spending variances, which extremely problematic for an organisation whose business model focuses on projects with fixed budgets and timeframes, and leads to a lot of unnecessary stress for staff. This seems to come from senior management which seems to want to turn the organisation in to some sort of blue chip consultancy rather than an humanitarian NGO.

Avantages

You will meet some amazing and passionate people here who are truly there for the mission. Many came to this country as refugees and immigrants themselves and continue to devote their lives to helping others going through similar experiences. If you end up on the right team, it's an extremely rewarding job.

Inconvénients

Unfortunately, the HQ upper management makes it a toxic place to work. VPs regularly undercut each other publicly (including at all-team meetings and gossiping negatively with staff), especially when potential job cuts were on the horizon. C-Suite didn't listen to staff concerns about upper management and didn't investigate major departures by dedicated staff who left due to poor management despite their dedication to the mission. Leaders picked favorites, ignoring work performance (excusing mediocre performance in some, having high standards for others), and preferred yes-men over staff who wanted to think more critically about the work. Projects were pushed too quickly, despite concerns that it could be detrimental to clients. Positions given to unqualified internal staff who wouldn't be interviewed for the role as external candidates. Senior leaders (director and above) are more focused on keeping their jobs than the mission and will use lower staff work for their own career growth/safety. DEI didn't seem to apply for senior leader roles, where there was little, if any, diversity.
