International Rescue Committee reviews about "people"

lack of systems in place

Lack of stability for long term career growth given administration policy

Unfortunately, the HQ upper management makes it a toxic place to work. VPs regularly undercut each other publicly (including at all-team meetings and gossiping negatively with staff), especially when potential job cuts were on the horizon. C-Suite didn't listen to staff concerns about upper management and didn't investigate major departures by dedicated staff who left due to poor management despite their dedication to the mission. Leaders picked favorites, ignoring work performance (excusing mediocre performance in some, having high standards for others), and preferred yes-men over staff who wanted to think more critically about the work. Projects were pushed too quickly, despite concerns that it could be detrimental to clients. Positions given to unqualified internal staff who wouldn't be interviewed for the role as external candidates. Senior leaders (director and above) are more focused on keeping their jobs than the mission and will use lower staff work for their own career growth/safety. DEI didn't seem to apply for senior leader roles, where there was little, if any, diversity.

Low pay, occasionally low funding for grants.

-Overly loaded with work -Short-staffed -Compared to responsibilities, less pay!

Non that I can think of

-prone to abuse by your typical 'staff who do the bare minimum' -red tapes abound, understandable due to nature of work, but still frustrating -slow career growth due to lack of positions
