Marvelous mission; toxic workplace

Pros

Opportunities to engage with grassroots communities, grantees in LAC region. Staff are committed, mission driven, talented development professionals with vast institutional knowledge.

Cons

Toxicity, hostility, bullying + intimidation of staff (especially women) by management go unaddressed. Mega micromanaging of fully capable professionals. CEO often refuses to engage when ideas are not in lockstep with her own. Top-down, heavy handed decision making processes. Caste-like hierarchy system. Zero growth potential for junior staff. Vacancies intentionally not backfilled by front office. Folks resigning left and right, creating overworked staff and obliterating morale.

Pros

Work with excellent grantees in countries

Cons

Chaotic workplace; always in flux. Everyone overworked and over scheduled. Little knowledge about the main work of the organization outside of the programming team. Unsupportive operations leadership.
