Negative environment - Anonymous employee Aperture Foundation Employee Review

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.
