    Not inclusive, community-driven development work isn't practiced
    The good thingsSubstantial pay, good opportunity to network and collaborate with partner beneficiaries. Manageable work load and deliverables
    The challengesWork is too focused on outputs rather than real impacts to beneficiaries. The organization is more focused on increasing KPIs or numbers for future grants and partnerships. Impacts are rarely assessed and evaluated with important stakeholders. The management should be aware and directed to focusing on long-term impact and building strong relations with key beneficiaries

    I recommend SCP for development work
    The good thingsWorking with SCP gives me a purpose, Work from home is practiced, Output oriented

    It was great!
    The good thingsI enjoyed sharing my knowledge on the importance of water and sanitation hygiene to the children and my fellow youths.
    The challengesThe challenging part was the delayed provision of food and fare allowances. I had to borrow money from my parents just to continue my work as a youth volunteer.

    GOOD COMPANY
    The good thingsThey handled us well. They gave us the things and seminar that we need to improve our skills and personality.. They provided us everything that every employee needs. not just financial but also moral. They treated us like their own family.
    The challengesEvery company has it's own side of weak-list. But Save the Children is able to make improvements on all things. So, we, the employees were complacent that the company will always be positive every time we meet anything that would cause us bad.

    The good thingsWorking in a diverse environment that promote a child centered community that allow children's participation in the whole process of the program cycle.

    Management
    The good thingsI enjoyed the travel opportunities plus work/life balance as I have never experienced this in my previous jobs but I guess it also depends on where you are based. Save the Children also provided me trainings which helped me grow more personally and professionally.
    The challengesOne of the challenges is the location of the project since we're predominantly based in areas prone to disasters and armed conflicts. Another challenge was the quick transition of staff as it took time to get a replacement. Immediate availability of staff is a must.
