Purpose Drive Org - Anonymous employee Non-GMO Project Employee Review

Amazing work place culture and growth opportunities

There is no cons, so far so good

Personal relationships that extended beyond the workplace were the only “pro” for me! The fringe benefits that felt nice at first, I quickly grew resentful of.

- Leadership consistently gaslights subordinate expertise and experiences. Managers readily take credit for others’ work, offer shallow and performative praise, and withhold information under the guise of “protecting you” or “coaching you.” Weaponized incompetence is a day-to-day occurrence. - Power hoarding amongst leadership is known and acknowledged by all staff but continues to remain in tacked. - Social capital is required to be successful here. In other words, expect to divulge personal life/self details that can and will be used to manipulate you and/or will effect your career growth. - The overall culture is passive aggressive, conflict avoidant, and gossipy. They’ll call you family but turn on you as soon as you begin to offer feedback or constructive criticism of workplace culture. - The Non-GMO Project is rampant with allllll of the “isms.” Only those with primarily dominant identity markers will feel belonging here. It’s straight up cult-like (and the way in which staff idolize the executive director perpetuates so much harm.)
