What is the best part of working at the company?
Keeping the standards and international best prctices.I am a sesioned sterile Processing Technician with CRCST, CIS,and CHL.I have nine years working exprience in the sterile Processing and material management field in the operating room.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful periods is the time when we arrive in a new country for a new field service and at the pick our field service.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The working environment is Good and highly international.Mercy Ships is a multi cultural environment,with Crew members coming from all over the world.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The day start with our usual morning devotion and sometimes community meetings.we will straight away go to our repective department's and start our daily rotaine .Lunch hour start at 12 mid day and finish at 12:30pm daily.Crew members go for Lunch on a rotational basis.work our start at 8:00Am daily.working hours also is on a rotational basis since people are always on duty day and night during the field service.

I loved working in this company. The work atmosphere was friendly and team oriented, with short partitions making it easy to both communicate about work and have your own space. There was great communication with other departments as well.

The supervisors were involved, gave great direction, and were encouraging when we had to adjust to new programs or updates. I never felt put down or like I was a slow learner.

A very enjoyable part of the job was office parties and the general sense of caring for each other personally. The hardest part was that my position was temporary and was over when the work slowed down. It is a little hard to get going or move up in a company where people love their jobs and keep them for a long time.

Easy to learn entry-level jobs with routine daily activities and tasks. 

Most managers are great, but a few department heads have a micromanager mentality. Expect to have a clock-in clock-out type environment and make up your time if you are 5 minutes late. 

There are opportunities for growth once you get to know people or truly have the right skillsets and talents for the job. The Christian values and morals of the organization are what make it very tolerable and pleasant to work here day in and day out. 

we worked at rehabilitation tente  about 8 hours a day and 5 days per week so we didn't work  by the weekend.I got lot of skills  from mercy ships like casting, my english above all spirutial life.
i could everything ,i set all of the material clean in there place befor leaving the place.i had fun worked at mercy ships because i worked with physical therapist,hand therapist,doctor ,nurse...it's completly different from my mesure at university.we helped  patients  and traslated for them i mean we helped one another but sometimes i didn't undersdand what they said ti was the hard things tht i felt because they were from different country and they had different intonation.Even ther was something like that i enjoyed playing with children at work.

This was easily the best place I’ve ever worked. The variety of work, the mission, and the genuinely caring leadership helped me grow in ways I’m still discovering—five years after being let go due to COVID. I cared about what I did in a way I never had before, and haven’t since.

Why do I say they ruined my life? Because no job I’ve had since has come close in satisfaction. You might ask why I don’t go back. The answer is simple: Mercy Ships is an exceptional steward of donor funds, and they don’t pay market salaries. I simply can’t afford to return. 

Still, I believe this is an experience everyone should have at least once. If you get the chance to work there—even for a couple of years—take it. You won’t regret it.


Fantastic group of people doing incredible work saving/changing lives in Africa... and it looks great on your resume.   But if you're a driven person fueled by productivity and results, and you reach the point that you no longer shed a tear while watching "patient videos," it's time to move on.  There are tons of "B and C players" about, most of whose responsibilities are being shouldered by the rare "A level guys."  Those folks will begin to weigh on your soul until you quit or get squashed by their ineptitude.  

Fantastic group of people, though.   

Mercy Ships is a great place to work. You feel like you are really makine a difference for less fortunate people.  The culture is positive and supportive. Everyone is friendly - you can sit down at any table in the dining room and be greated by friends.

The company is very responsible with the funds that are donated. This means that salaries are low and the workspaces are not the nicest.  Most of the personnel on the ships are vulunteers.

Even after leaving, I feel a connection to Mercy Ships and their mission that I never felt for other previous employers.

The typical day of the Job is when is time for taking accurate readings and log which is mostly interfered with several alrms. I learnt how to repair lube oil and diesel oil purifiers, incinerator, and many other things. 
The work culture is unique due to several nationalities that work in that environment. The hardest part is when the vessel sails and it pitch and rolls whiles you are working on engines.

The most enjoyable part is when a tax is accomplished and when i learn new things.

I often opened the cafe. I cleaned and prepared the food and drinks for the day 

I learned how to make coffee drinks and be detailed oriented

The manager of the cafe had not much experience in her position. There were a few areas of growth. However, her humility in willing to learn made her exceptional as a manager.

My co-workers were enjoyable. The time spent socializing with the customers and co-workers made this job fantastic. 

The struggle with this job was that I was promised promotions, yet never received one

The mission and culture as well as the crew are amazing . Days are filled with laughter and pressure but a sns of satisfactory at the end. I learned to manage peoplewith different cultural background .
Need godly management since it is a christian NGO.
Amazing how God brings people from various culture on a ship and theg get along as much as they seek to apply God‘s culture: love.
Community and community is both hard and enjoyable.
