Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOPros
Benefits are fantastic. Nice offices. Competence across the board. Satisfaction when something finally (finally!) gets done.
Cons
Putting the crazy back in bureaucracy. Meetings about meetings about meetings about meetings. Back-stabbing colleagues who take credit for work they didn't do, or take advantage of terminology and systems only used by longtime Guggenheim employees. Seriously, you need a glossary (which exists) in order to get things done there. Departments with poorly defined boundaries, in-fighting invisible to the uninitiated.
Advice to Management
Get a handle on the "planes, trains, and automobiles" culture of people trying to work from a multitude of locations and a caste of employees who consider themselves impervious to collaboration or deadlines.

I worked at Guggenheim Museum (More than 8 years)
Pros
Ambitious and well-respected organization. Very professional practices and commitment to best practices. Great to work in the Frank Lloyd Wright building.
Cons
Feels like there is often no one in charge. Decisions are left to be made by the loudest voice in the room. No opportunities for advancement.
Advice to Management
Improve commitment to professional development. Increase internal communication and decision-making processes. Improve financial management.

One of the best museums in nyc. People are passionate, all super nice, and hardworking. Free passes + guests to all other museums is definitely good too.
Cons
bureaucracy is something unavoidable but given the size of the museum it's acceptable
