Decent work, but balance needs managing
It's an okay place to work, but the work-life balance can really swing. You'll have good weeks and really tough ones, especially with international projects.
I really appreciate the mission-driven work. As a Program Officer, it feels good contributing to global health initiatives. Plus, the hybrid model in our Geneva office helps some with flexibility on quieter days.
The workload can get intense, especially during project deadlines. Sometimes it feels like you're always 'on' due to different time zones in international development. It's hard to consistently have a 40-hour week.
Leadership needs to better manage global workloads and set clear expectations for after-hours communication. Encourage teams to truly disconnect.
