Pros

Does some really great work at the field level - innovative projects, dedicated staff. Good benefits package.

Cons

I don't think I know a single person left at this organization (aside from senior leadership) that is not actively looking for a new position. Senior leadership is vastly overpaid for an organization this size and are incompetent and completely out of touch. Went through a very poorly executed reorganization last year and at the same time threatened layoffs. Planned layoffs did not occur only because around 40% of the HQ staff left. A senior staff member was allowed to resign quietly despite repeated incidents of inappropriate behavior that went unaddressed for years. Despite some new high level hires, organization is still floundering - unable to bring in new revenue and lower level staff bear the brunt of doing more work with fewer resources.

Pros

- generally good people who are nice to work with. - good benefits. - diverse areas of programming and global coverage

Cons

- poor senior leadership and board. No clear vision or strategy that aligns to the mission. Board provides no accountability because they’re not fully informed of realities within the organization. CEO wastes money on consultants who produce little. CEO is indecisive and aloof from the day to day and surrounded by “yes people” who contribute little. Brutally poor executive communications to the workforce (frequency, authenticity, honesty). Chronic overspending of budgets and wasted resource by leadership. Revolving door of senior leaders because CEO can’t build and maintain a functional exec team. - policies aren’t clear or well disseminated. -culture of chaos, almost by design, to avoid accountability. There is always a reason something couldn’t get done or was deprioritized. - overall deviation from the mission and programs. No clear identity. - poor day-to-day standardizations or ways of working. Unclear processes for simple tasks. - feels like a startup despite its lengthy history- mostly because of several failed mergers which failed to bring or keep the good from the merging orgs, and just made it all worse.
