Pros
Good opportunities for travel, general camaraderie.
Cons
Everything. Chemonics is a sinking ship, and it is the CEO who steered it right into an iceberg! Chemonics doesn't learn lessons from it's mistakes, and that's the heart of their big issue right now, in terms of business development. The senior leadership does not care about work/life balance, they will work you until you break. They do, however, care about their own bonuses. For instance, the CEO received a $1.8m ca$h bonus last year, and doesn't include stock options, 401k contributions, stock bonuses, etc (all totaled ~$4.5million). And most of the 'working folks' didn't even receive bonuses! The disparity between the project managers and the senior management is out of control. Chemonics is in such financial dispair that they have defaulted on several loan payments, and are "laying off" about 120 people. This is all happening under the guise of "attrition and performance managemnt". Transparency and morale are both at an all time low. This is a sinking ship - jump before it goes all the way down!
