Pros

People are awesome and friendly. Always lots of cake on birthdays, team lunches (in the nice casual way, not boring mandatory kind) The work we get to do is fulfilling and exciting. Good opportunities for travel. Is run like a social enterprise more than a non-profit, keeps things sustainable, and people working hard. You always feel like colleagues are working as hard as you are. Pay and benefits are good for a non-profit, but not on par with private, but if money is what drives you then it's probably not a good fit anyway.

Cons

The team is distributed across the world. half in D.C and the rest in Argnetina, Romania, and a couple scattered around. It makes travelling fun and exciting, but means a lot of tele-working and communicating instead of in person which takes some getting used to.

Pros

Development Gateway is an organization that is in its best years yet. It offers young people great opportunities to get their "hands dirty" on interesting projects while also offering extensive experience in developing countries. The open work culture allows the staff to grow in their professional development. Senior management is extremely friendly, approachable and listen to staff concerns taking immediate action to rectify problems where possible. Over the past few years the environment has changed for the better with the organization moving forward in key areas that are relevant to today's technical challenges. If you are looking to learn and gain experience in the international development arena this is a great place to work.

Cons

In the past the organization was too "top heavy" with too many management staff. However, this is now changing with the organization cutting out the "fat" and staffing with a young dynamic staff while at the same time keeping an equal measure of "experienced" staff in place.
