Aperture Foundation reviews

As a non-profit photography publisher in the digital age, it was a challenge to adapt to new economic realities. There was quite a bit of pressure on meeting financial targets for projects that were not easy to sell, or raise money for, even though they had great merit

Very stressful environment. Staff juggling too many projects at once, trying to keep partners and board members happy, which creates a volatile culture in which there's a lot of sniping and finger pointing. Internal communication is poor, even though there are way too many meetings. Exec director takes a confrontational tone with the staff--this is an arts nonprofit, not Harvard Law School--and I didn't see this bring out the best in most people. I've never worked in a place where staffers were so on edge and defensive. Pay is low compared to the industry.
