Pros

Despite losing many of their best staff, the health practice seems to be doing all right. Some good, dedicated people still making a go of it Because so many people leave, you stand a chance to get promoted more quickly (that does not generally translate to a pay increase) Good about working from home and decent PTO

Cons

Poorly devised and executed acquisitions have led to the decimation of 3 pretty good names in the development industry. (Didn't do the parent company in Australia any favors.) Rudderless. They are led by DFID and DFAT people based in Dubai who seems to have nothing but contempt for USAID and the American business. Creepy office environment (An open office layout where talking is discouraged) Business development, recruitment, and operations are understaffed and over-worked. Horrible HR, Payroll, and other support services - a mix of the incompetent and overworked.

Pros

great work environment; supportive environment; lots of professional development

Cons

not a lot of job growth for everyone (only a few director roles, and not many women were in leadership roles); annoying that to get promoted you had to apply to an open position instead of getting a cycle promotion, which was more difficult to get.
