Pros

Flexible work schedules Great Benefits Competitive salaries Beautiful Offices

Cons

Collaborative decision-making is a mask for micro-management Lack of diverse management team - majority of projects in Africa yet NO Managing Director of African descent. Elitist Toxic management environment Professed values do not translate to how the organization treats certain members of its staff Complete lack of respect for subject matter experts in Finance and Operations No room for real advancement

Pros

Results for Development is a fantastic organization that truly prioritizes working with local agents of change to drive progress in nutrition, health, and education. The organization genuinely believes that understanding the local context is essential for designing appropriate, sustainable, and impactful solutions.

Cons

One area for improvement is ensuring that local change agents are fully involved in the design and conception of projects, rather than being engaged primarily as consultants during implementation. Meaningful co-creation from the outset would strengthen ownership, relevance, and sustainability
