Is this your company?

All the excitement of a very plush actuary's office -- but with giant egos. - Anonymous employee Cleveland Foundation Employee Review

Pros

It does good things (with other people's money). Tries to be innovative -- to a fault. Good pay, great benefits, nice offices, nice perks. Very good at investing donors' money.

Cons

The big boss is well-intentioned, but the foundation is no longer really helping Cleveland. Senior leaders worry more about self-promotion and the board's wrath than they do about the mission. Agencies dependent on TCF say they have to kowtow to cocooned egomaniacs who don't understand the real world but think they're all that because everyone kisses their rings. Really blew it in Economic Dev't by yanking support from nanomaterials in favor of wind energy.
