Pros
Has helped millions if not billions of people around the world with brilliant solutions to social problems that work.
Cons
Ashoka is doing some of the best work in the world but the low staff salaries are abusive and unethical. Almost all staff who stay more than two years depend on spouses or parents for anything significant like having children, buying a house or saving for retirement. Non-wealthy staff are in poor mental health from always cutting corners, working second jobs, panicked they will never have families, putting themselves in dangerous situations and knowing that they are going to be struggling to make ends meet when they are older and vulnerable.
