Avantages

You will meet the most sincere coworkers, only people with the best intentions join the organisation (because of some cons later discussed). The work both domestically and internationally are meaningful. You can very easily burn out or become jaded in refugee resettlement work at the wrong organisation, but the IRC uses its funds responsibly, and everyone works above and beyond in service of others. Internationally, their emergency response teams are impressive, and the programs are innovative.

Inconvénients

The pay is low (but understandably because the majority of resources go directly back to refugee services), and you feel pressured to work overtime off the books or skip taking advantage of (already meager) vacation days. It also seems like the organisation tends to hire executives that don't really have experience or motivation to see what it's like "on the ground". The disconnect between lofty/obtuse management and the realities of working with limited resources was often frustrating.

Avantages

You will meet some amazing and passionate people here who are truly there for the mission. Many came to this country as refugees and immigrants themselves and continue to devote their lives to helping others going through similar experiences. If you end up on the right team, it's an extremely rewarding job.

Inconvénients

Unfortunately, the HQ upper management makes it a toxic place to work. VPs regularly undercut each other publicly (including at all-team meetings and gossiping negatively with staff), especially when potential job cuts were on the horizon. C-Suite didn't listen to staff concerns about upper management and didn't investigate major departures by dedicated staff who left due to poor management despite their dedication to the mission. Leaders picked favorites, ignoring work performance (excusing mediocre performance in some, having high standards for others), and preferred yes-men over staff who wanted to think more critically about the work. Projects were pushed too quickly, despite concerns that it could be detrimental to clients. Positions given to unqualified internal staff who wouldn't be interviewed for the role as external candidates. Senior leaders (director and above) are more focused on keeping their jobs than the mission and will use lower staff work for their own career growth/safety. DEI didn't seem to apply for senior leader roles, where there was little, if any, diversity.
