Pros

altruism, great cause, some great people

Cons

Komen's founder destroyed the organization in 2012. It hasn't recovered since and never will. Currently, the place is in total disarray. It's a true dog eat dog environment as everybody desperately tries to keep the place afloat. Management is atrocious - they can barely get along with each other much less their own teams. The incessantly poor decisions they make leave everyone scratching their heads wondering then the next layoff will occur. It's a revolving door of incompetence at the top levels. The ship has already sunk. It's only a matter of time before Komen announces they're closing their doors. Stay away. If Breast Cancer is your cause, go to BCRF.

Susan G. Komen Response

As this feedback is anonymous it is hard to tell how long ago you worked at Komen. The organization has not been destroyed, in fact continues to be the largest funder of breast cancer research outside the federal government. In addition, Komen is the only breast cancer non-profit that tackles this awful disease from all perspectives: research, care, community and action. It is also important to note that Komen HQ's tenure and turnover are better than benchmarks. This ship is not sinking but is committed now more than ever to finding cures. Our bold goal of reducing the number of breast cancer deaths by 50% by 2026 is our main focus and we are making progress towards that goal. We are united and will not stop until we reach our goal.
