Pros

great people except those in charge

Cons

This used to be a great place to work but management has made it so miserable that there has been a mass exodus that isn’t ending any time soon. They don’t care that quality people are fleeing, in fact they pride themselves that now they have to pay less salary. They lie, backpedal and revise reality so that workers are the ones blamed for the fact that we have brought in zero money in the last year, and not much before that. The top-heaviness of the management structure here is directly proportional to how much the top earners don’t do; there have been several high-level hires in recent months, each more incompetent than the last. They try to put on a progressive face but this place is a good ole boy network with a few outliers thrown in for optics. They value fluff over substance and freak out at any hint of dissent. They consistently focus on the wrong problems and have no interest in solving the issues that have brought this place so far down. I’d be surprised if their doors are still open in a year.

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.
