Employees at the International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies appreciate their wonderful colleagues who share a common goal of alleviating human suffering. The work environment is viewed positively, with flexible timing and opportunities to work with people from diverse backgrounds. Employees also value the exposure and learning experiences they gain, including cross-regional exposure and the ability to travel globally.
However, the work can be intense, with overwhelming demands and the need to work long hours, potentially 24/7, particularly during emergency response situations. Some employees feel that career development opportunities are limited. Additionally, working across cultures can present cross-cultural challenges that need to be navigated.
