Pros

Incredible mission, opportunities, very multi-cultural, progressive, impact is tangible.

Cons

Bureaucratic. Colonial. Sucks if you're not white or networked at HQ. Known cases of abuse of authority, intimidation, bullying, nepotism. Mechanisms in place but fail especially those not networked or from non-donor countries.
