AARP reviews

The place is a mine field of over-inflated egos, sycophants, and sociopaths. Nothing innovative ever gets done. It is 100% personality driven, and often the worst of the worst rise to the top.

Unfortunately, the focus tends to be more on internal politics, turf wars, and finding new ways to profit than on achieving the organization's social mission. Managers are inexperienced and afraid of taking a misstep. There is a culture of bureaucracy, silos, cronyism, reorganizing staff and finger pointing. This culture leads to employees being unwilling to share their knowledge and skills freely as well as a tendency to be closed off to new ideas. Managers sometimes take full credit for the ideas of their staff. I would tell bright and passionate people who want to apply and sharpen their skills in a nurturing and nimble environment to look elsewhere.
