It's a tiring place. Management assumes people are inherently lazy and need to be governed constantly. Innovation is discouraged and it chokes most of the culture out of the work force. They treat people as tools, but tout a "positive culture" based on the occasional bowling game our company breakfast. The truly sad thing is that the people who do the work day-in-day-out are typically brilliant people and would honestly transform the world of grant making if management would listen and develop the staff. C-Suite staff is young and insecure. They tend to toss out catch phrases from the latest trends at meetings, with little meaning to the words. Turnover is high and people tend to get "disappeared" with no mention.
