Excellent mission but very top-down - Senior Associate Human Rights Watch Employee Review

Pros

The staff at HRW are all smart, dedicated, and experts in their field and the mission makes one want to work hard and commit to building the organization.

Cons

While there are a lot of opportunities for growth, this is largely limited to more senior staff, with little potential for promotion or upward mobility at the entry level/associate level positions. Also, there is little transparency in the decision-making process with only a few senior staff being privy to the strategic planning process.
