Great Mission, Poor Management

Pros

Excellent benefits. Flexible schedules, but heavy workloads.

Cons

This global organization claims to promote diversity, yet discrimination is pervasive in a couple departments, with harassment and bullying from coworkers and even from managers being widely tolerated. These same core operating departments are managed poorly due to lack of management skills and experience and/or out-dated management styles.

Pros

Great people, inspiring mission, excellent reputation and P.R./ media coverage

Cons

Burdensome bureaucracy and overhead for a relatively small org, combined with frequent administrative problems and operations errors that bogged down potential work impact. Top-down leadership team did not listen well or hear its team members. Over-weighted focus on investors and corporate sponsors than philanthropy and creative revenue-generating collaborations.

Pros

- Hardworking culture, sense of accountability - Room for innovation - lots of BIG ideas! - Strategic thinking evolves every year, so it is exciting to keep learning and looking at the opportunities in the sector from new angles - Flexible schedule

Cons

- Lack of a strategic approach to realizing human and organizational potential (i.e. need to invest into people properly) - Fast pace is leading to burnout and execution challenges - Limited freedom to object or challenge the status quo, that's not really the culture or the expectation
