Improving on what it was

Pros

The staff at the Internet Society are very talented and passionate about the mission of the organisation.

Cons

The organisation works in silos and team co-operation is an aspiration. Management is not very transparent. There is not a clear understanding as to the mission of the organisation, so this further reinforces the silos.

Great organization; poor top-level leadership

Pros

Great mission, when clearly articulated--bringing the Internet to everyone. Wonderful work in the economically emerging world. Community grant program really makes an impact. Good support from corporations and other funders.

Cons

Unfortunately, the C-suite leadership consistently makes poor decisions and reflects a lack of creative thinking and imagination about the potential of the organization. The leadership tends to be too conservative and out of touch with what is really going on in the field and the potential the organization has to make an impact. So much so that now the organization risks being irrelevant. Moreover, leadership appears to be pulling resources from pursuing external funding for the very projects that are making a difference!

Awful Culture

Pros

Used to be a good work/life balance but the days of that are long gone.

Cons

The culture is toxic the past year+. The execs seem to be disconnected from the staff and have done nothing to fix the environment. The org spends money like it grows on trees in the wrong places. Staff get very small raises, but 100's of thousands can be spent on contractors doing work that staff can do. Benefits costs have gone up every year, yet the org has a larger budget year over year.
