Pros

Great colleagues, dedicated to the mission and working hard.

Cons

Leadership pays lip service to professional development but there has never been a cohesive professional development or training strategy within the organization in the time i've been there (since 2003). Leadership is focused on spending numbers to the exclusion of all else, including program quality and service to donors. Bureaucracy is unmanageable between the DC and Chicago offices, no way to actually get international development work done in the field. Operations staff, including leadership, are punitive towards junior and senior program staff for any mistakes and cause people to leave the organization when they could be coached to greater success.

Pros

The people at ROLI are some of the best people I have worked with. They are an inspiring mission-driven group who are always willing to help each other navigate difficulties that may arise. There is a lot of bureaucracy but once you know what you're doing, it is fairly easy to skirt your way around it. Salary and career opportunities have become increasingly transparent thanks to the Deputy Director. ROLI Senior Management cares about the satisfaction of its employees.

Cons

Nearly everyone in ROLI is competent and kind. There are a few bad apples who can hinder your work and some directors who clearly lack international development experience.
