Horrendously Toxic "Professional" Environment

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I'll preface my review with this: I've waited more than a year to write this, to be in a clearer headspace and effort objectivity in my observations of the work environment. This place pushed me to the precipice of a mental breakdown, and in the wake of my departure I've required months of therapy to be back to my former self. So, pros you ask? NONE.

Cons

What I have to say very much mirrors what others have posted: Mercurial and feckless leadership, rudderless "vision," acerbic and toxic work environment, just to name a few. Favoritism and nepotism run amok and destroy any illusion of a professional environment. Leadership is notorious for caustic "reply all" emails, blaming subordinates for their own failures, and usurping your accomplishments for their own. It's very Machiavellian at Earth Day. If you will want to work at a mission-driven organization that does good for the world (especially around environmental and climate issues), this is not the place for you. Please don't read these reviews and think your experience will be any different. It won't. Also...just a side note, most of the five star reviews are from interns, read into that what you will.

A traumatic and toxic experience

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The middle level staff were all excellent, motivated and creative people. I loved working with the programmatic staff and they were the only thing I regretted in leaving.

Cons

The management was toxic, unimaginative and ignorant. They created a workplace that was oppressive and littered with comments that were extremely inappropriate for a workplace re age, diversity, health issues, etc. And DEI? Non-existent. Truly a horrible place and experience.

Spectacularly Bad for Mental Health

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Somehow this organization continues to attract highly qualified, talented, and friendly lower level employees. The trauma bond they share leads to some great friendships. You will get a lot of experience with changing plans quickly, problem solving, and managing interpersonal conflict. There is no pay structure and wildly differing salaries between colleagues of the same tier, so depending on how desperate they are at your time of hire you can potentially negotiate for a high salary. Insurance benefits were decent, which will help when you inevitably start therapy.

Cons

The honeymoon period is exciting because you have so much freedom to shape your program how you want. This is because there is no institutional knowledge keeping and plans/connections/ideas/resources/etc leave with employees roughly every 6 months. You will receive no feedback or guidance on your work, and then every few months you will be berated for not "following the plan" that never existed. Any goals you are given are incredibly unrealistic and are constantly shifting, along with your job description. As you settle in you'll start to uncover the network of burnt bridges with other organizations, and you just might get to be the scapegoat when management burns more with false promises and unmet deliverables. There is nothing that hasn't already been said in other reviews regarding culture. Toxic toxic toxic. This place makes you feel anxious, overworked, and undervalued. Don't take a job here if you can help it.
