Based off of what I have observed from my parents (who both work in NGOs) what Nauru said is generally correct. My parents have relatively flexible hours, and they (as I understand it) have a good degree of job stability. The downside is that workers in (some NGO’s) may be less motivated than their private sector counterparts (they tend to have less incentives to be “go-getters”). Thus, it is sometimes harder to enact change within an organization (which may be frustrating for a more motivated individual).
