Unprofessional and reputational risk - Anonymous employee Athena Infonomics Employee Review

Small company with lots of experience. I was staffed on several projects under senior level people and provided with enough support that I felt comfortable working in a relatively new sector. I learned a ton about the water and sanitation (something I had no experience with) and was tasked with the prerequisite of understanding the structure of development work.

The work is reactive more than proactive, as with the majority of development work, so one might be tasked on projects, moved often, or placed outside of comfort zone.

I have been with Athena Infonomics for a little over 2 years now. The organization clearly is on a rapid growth trajectory and this has created some really interesting learning opportunities for me. It has a great peer group of professionals who are passionate about social impact and are willing to help each other out.

The work-life balance is a serious issue. While you learn a lot, the organization needs to find a way to smoothen out work allocation and improve work-life balance.
