Exciting time at Evidence Action

Pros

Evidence Action made a great call hiring Danielle as CEO. She's brought real clarity to our priorities and strategy at a time when it was needed. Her focus on people is strong and I've appreciated her engagement. We've been navigating the messy middle that is typical for an org at 10-15 years, but our path forward feels clearer now. I'm excited to see where we're heading!

Cons

As we entered a new stage of growth the last two years, it has been bumpy at times. There's still work to do on internal processes and ways of working.

Pros

Evidence Action is a mission-driven organization that genuinely lives its values. The work is meaningful, impact-focused, and grounded in data, which makes it especially rewarding to be part of the team. Leadership is thoughtful and accessible, and there is a strong culture of trust, collaboration, and respect across teams. People here are smart, humble, and deeply committed to doing good work without ego. I’ve also appreciated the organization’s openness to learning and improvement—there is a real willingness to invest in systems, processes, and people to support long-term sustainability. Work-life balance is generally respected, especially considering the global nature of the work.

Cons

As with many fast-growing, mission-driven organizations, some processes and systems are still evolving. This can occasionally mean ambiguity, shifting priorities, or heavier workloads during peak periods. Cross-functional coordination can sometimes take extra time due to the organization’s scale and distributed teams.

Pros

The team is incredibly supportive, with a strong emphasis on collaboration, learning, and innovation. The leadership is supportive of a healthy work-life balance, which I truly appreciate. There are ample opportunities for career development, from training sessions to mentorship. Working here has significantly sharpened my skills in auditing, procurement, and program oversight

Cons

As with any growing organization, transitions (e.g., regional expansions) can be challenging, but these are opportunities to learn and grow
