Pros

Someone needs to rescue this organization

Cons

The CEO is making huge strategic and operational changes just to try to make it look like he is a leader. He has no idea what the eventual impact will be. Massive change based on a suspicion. No substance. He spins his Board into thinking he knows what he is doing. A real CEO is needed. This one is a sham. Other leaders are minimally competent. Low salaries and everyone does multiple jobs. Favortism. Lip service to values. Enormous exodus after numerous attempts to convey concerns - groups wrote letters to Management expressing lack of confidence. Efforts by Management to address issues have entirely missed the point. A CEO with a huge ego and big salary spends most of his time at home. He seems to think no one notices he barely works or gets anything done. Everyone notices. Except the people he reports to - the Board. So unfortunate. Millions of people in needs and dollars spent going to waste.

Pros

- Do good humanitarian work overseas - General staff in the offices are very friendly, approachable, and lovely to work with. - Benefits were decent (good US health insurance, generous PTO (18 days a year to start and four summer Fridays)). Retirement doesn't vest for three years.

Cons

- Leadership was not communicative and lacked empathy when laying off a large proportion of the company including not following their own HR policies. -Salaries were below what similar NGOs paid.
