On-boarding is absent and there is no mentorship even if you look hard. You are left to figure things out on your own and people are strikingly unhelpful - surprising for an organization that is promoting DEI values. Teams work on silos and there is a lack of transparency and inclusiveness between the leadership team and the rest. Often, work is redundant. The culture is built on shark-type attitudes, turf defending behaviors, status quo, and self-promotions (people talk a lot about what they did/will do instead of doing work). Conflicts/disrespectful situations aren't resolved positively/fairly. There is little collaboration, instead, friction between people who are not interested in building effective work processes and relationships and those who need those processes/relationships to produce good work, thus, there can be lots of frustration and time wasted fixing things. Often, the shark will give orders that everyone must follow unquestionably or else there will be repercussions. People are not interested in progressing or listening. The overall mindset felt is one of self-interest (and this is applauded) instead of collaboration to intentionally construct a positive teamwork environment where everybody thrives. Managing an organization and building a culture takes a lot of skill and effort and I'm not sure if they have it in them. The leadership team is built on having connections with big corporations ($) just like many of the nonprofits out there. You are better off working for an e-learning company that produces effective, scalable courses that are available to all.
