Best brand in the world. Political, ethically challenged, oblivious to what world thinks of it - Anonymous employee International Olympic Committee Employee Review

Pros

Presitigious organisation, looks good on your CV as long as you don't stay too long. Sport-centric culture. Beautiful offices, lake-side setting.Opportunities for travel. You get to see the Olympic movement from the inside.

Cons

Very political internally. Poor management (President not involved in day-to-day, that's director-general's job) and lack of operational leadership. Much empire building. Poor project management. Many "initiatives" outside world doesn't care about. Ethically challenged. It's all about the TOPs (Olympic Partners), the TV contracts, the money, nothing else matters. Staff salaries are low vs the external market. Very little training or career development. Many staff are institutionalised, a lot of time servers at every level.

Pros

great working environment and fun people

Cons

HR is horrible. They are sketchy in how they do business. If you are up for an internal position the application process is even more unclear. The hiring can take ages and when you think you got the job, since you talked about salary expectation, start date, benefits, etc and then they come back to you two weeks later saying you did not get the job. Terrible.
