Pros
Some very committed, smart, staff who are great people. The goals are very fundamental and meaningful, and this could be very inspiring if the objectives were executed better.
Cons
The best people leave while the mediocre ones stay - some people are untouchable though no one understands what they actually accomplish, yet they stay due apparently to their personal relationships with senior management. Management does not tolerate different opinions from their own, no matter how professionally they are presented. It’s a cult of personality, with the CEO and President far more interested in showing up on stage next to Matt Damon and Bono than actually running the organization in an efficient, businesslike manner that makes effective use of donor money. So much money is wasted on studies and team building activities that dont deliver results to Water.org’s clients. There is also a complete lack of foresight and planning and a willingness to lose really good people.
