How employees describe working at Chemonics International
Good strategy and values, but line managers sometimes do not have them embedded in their genome
A very combative environment in their Nigerian office on its largest project. Operations is led by a zoologist with no prior experience in the sector, she had too much power, it's either her way or the highway. She had no compassion as is expected in the sector, she lies her way through.

I have been with the organization for 6 years. Worked on three projects TAWA, RWM and LTA. When I came to work, I was a communication assistant. Now I'm a communication specialist. This is a company that gives every employee the opportunity to develop. Many of us have learned a lot along the way.
Amazing, because everyone is valued and respected
