Demoralizing work environment taints the organisation’s mission - Advisor MSI Reproductive Choices Employee Review

Unfortunately the many cons of working at MSI outweighs the pros. Colleagues from BAME backgrounds do not end up staying long due to the toxic environment created by the executive team and the CEO. There is salary inequalities throughout the organization. Personal ‘brand’ and popularity triumphs over qualifications and good quality work, and progression opportunities are not offered equally and in a transparent manner. Those that are the loudest, with flashier work are recognized and progress. The executive team holds unconditional power although not all have any experience in health or international development. They organizational business decisions with limited consultations (or they consult as a formality and do what they want anyways). Incredibly long work hours, with no importance given to appropriate compensation. CEO recently mentioned that work-life balance is a “side-show” to getting the work done.
