Pros

Large international human rights organization with a large capacity to work on regional and thematic issues.

Cons

Is very top heavy which leads to few opportunities for growth and to some leadership to stay in the organization for way too long.

Pros

Best investigative research in the industry. Lots of autonomy. Lots of support if you get the right supervisor, can be a disaster if you don't.

Cons

Work/life balance is a myth and a dream. Extremely intense expectations. It's worth it because the outcomes are top-notch, but it's a lot of inputs.
