Avantages
Excellent staff across countries and HQ. Strong evidence based programming. Mission oriented. Makes real improvements over the years to common systems problems. Well resources departments (grants, technology, innovation) strengthen responses and position IRC well to receive funding. Good sense of culture, though silos exist. Excellent history of working well in complex crises, and is positioned well to advocate for humanitarian issues globally and in some cases regionally/nationally.
Inconvénients
Acknowledges that program managers and up (Coordinators, DDPs, etc.) are overwhelmed with work and responsibility. Does nothing over the years to address this. The related high turnover adds burden to remaining staff - especially national staff. Burnout is clearly the obvious ending for any staff member who stays more than a couple of years: but it is still seen as a weakness of the employee, and not a symptom of the organization's failure.
