Pros

Cons

- No career progression: no promotion for staff joining as analysts, you have to apply to associate positions if/when they open and those are also open externally - Bad human ressource planning, high churn at the analyst / associate level - No bonus / serious incentive package, performance not valued - Salaries in country offices do not get properly revaluated. - Extremely bureaucratic organization, managers have little say in their team's development. Political decisions >> commercial ones.
