Pluspunten
A lot of motivated colleagues with a real passion for evidence and for making a difference in international development. Flexible (to a certain extent) working from home policy.
Minpunten
Promotion and salary review processes aren't transparent. They recently started to implement performance benchmarks to ensure consistency on promotions across the company but still the process isn't transparent. Defensive senior management and HR on these issues. It is becoming increasingly corporate, and it is unfortunately focusing more on commercials rather than values and mission. Updates to the company are mostly on commercial value and revenue. No opportunities for external L&D or support with learning new skills externally. Women hired in lower level positions despite the same level of experience of male colleagues, very few women at the top. Defensive management on these issues again. No compensation if traveled for extensive periods or over the weekend. No over-time compensation but long hours are expected if working on reports/bids. Low salaries compared to similar companies in the same industry.
