Is this your company?

A great group of people to work with, but a terrible organization to work for. - Program Assistant Middle East Institute Employee Review

Pros

Small, tight knit group of educated and motivated individuals with a deep passion and interest in the Middle East.

Cons

The organization does not value its junior employees, offers no training or development opportunities, expects junior staff to work far beyond standard workweek without compensation (time off/overtime). Intense internal battles between department heads and chairpeople.
