World Vision International

Staff are not free to express themselves for fear of victimisation through non renewal of contracts.
The organization does lip service in listening to the voices of children. When critical decisions are made they are made in hotels far away from the poor. We dont listen to children's voices as we purport to do.
Promotions are not transparent. For some qualifications are considered for some they arè promoted without the requisite qualifications.
Do something tangible for sponsored children. Sometimes you feel like these children are exploited for the benefit of staff.
The organization can do without TAs. TAs to me are already there on the ground who are hands on and in touch with commuties. We can save money to benefit children. Benefits for top management are untouchable when it comes to cost cutting measures. Why is this so?

more so than others, they are very strict about your attendance. As a Trainee they give you all the information that you need, but there is little to no accomodation for Schedule changes. the pace is quick and very friendly, but there always seems to be a white elephant in the room.

They give fair warning to those that need to improve, but that also means, they are more than willing to let you go if they have to. However, if you meet expectations there is no need for fear of being let go. They are very open and try to help you with your job advancement as much as possible.

there are many team building meetings to get to know each other and many oppurtunities for prizes and being recognized. If you want to feel appreciated every other day, world Vision is a good place to be.

a typical day at work was when I had to print beneficiary distribution lists in less that 3 hours for 21 food distribution points and I ended up having to do them overnight. I learnt that team work is important and sometimes one has to make decisions fast. it build in me a hard working mind and analytical one. world vision international is a well managed organisation and my co workers were the best any person could ever work with. the hardest part of the job was that it requires a lot of sacrifice meaning that sometimes no public holidays but it is nothing one cannot handle. and the most interesting part is that it is to help the community. by eradicating poverty, a clean environment can also be achieved.

I worked at World Vision as an HRIS Analyst full-time (More than 5 years).  It is a very collaborative and innovative place. 

Employees share a passion - a very great passion - for the mission. The respect that World Vision shows its program beneficiaries, donors and employees is impressive. World Vision's love and respect for children permeates throughout the organization.

As an intern working at World Vision, typical day at work is 8 hours, regarding what I have learnt is that is a non-governmental organization committed to Christianity basis and all activities done or training lie upon saving the poor, the management of the team is cooperative, the workplace culture is perfect depending on the place allocated, the hardest part is that  lacking exposure which is outside the project areas where most activities are done consider being in headquarters, the enjoyable part is that travelling to different regions in the interior areas and get a precise image on the way people live is the reality which can be identified from our naked eyes.

Our work was based on the field, particularly in World Vision Burundi, listening to the people all the day, I have gained much knowledge about people needs, and the lesson is that I can lead any work which  would be based in Burundi society.
My co-workers were happy with me because I gave them moral when they were tired or helped them to understand the tools that we used when working.
On the field, we met a lot of problems as car breakdown, misunderstanding with administrators, and others but it was our work to solve all those problems.
We were happy when we succeeded the work, when people are happy with us, understood our work, knew that the purpose of the work to help but not to harm them.

I was lucky enough to get my placement at The World Vision office. During my time there, I supported two teams: The Child and Sponsorship Operation team and The Youth and Student Engagement Team. The wonderful thing about this experience is that I’m working for a global NGO that serves the world’s most vulnerable people, which is valuable to me as someone who wishes to become a successful social worker in the near future.What I love about being apart of this team is that they help you to realize that everyone has the potential to change the world in some way and all it takes is some self conscious recognition and awareness that we are all capable of doing a good deed which believe this is at the heart of the youth team.

A typical day would involve communicating with team members globally in various time zones. I further enhanced my interpersonal skills by interacting with people in 23 different countries on a daily basis.

The hardest part of the job was aligning 23 offices in different countries to align with one common strategy.

The most enjoyable part of working at World Vision was having the opportunity to apply my subject matter expertise towards achieving a  global content management strategy.

Transitions and reorganizations are too frequent and may not accomplish the goal set forth in their purpose. The people I have worked with are genuine in their efforts to support the mission and vision of the organization.
