Extremely toxic system - Anonymous employee World Economic Forum Employee Review

Pros

On paper, it has a brand.

Cons

The quote lives in my heart rent-free every single day here: “When you tell the truth in a toxic workplace, you become the problem.” This place doesn’t punish dishonesty- it practically rewards it. What they actually punish is disruption. I learned that the hard way. The moment you question bad leadership, expose broken systems, challenge politics, refuse to stay silent, you become a threat. By that means, your job will become at risk. Colleagues know that the system is dysfunctional and HRs are useless, so many of them take the burnout leaves. Then they will just disappear. It tells a lot- the culture is abusive across all the levels.

Pros

This organization is constantly evolving but I think generally in the right direction. Great place for those who strive in unstructured environments.

Cons

Hours can be long and you have to enjoy travel.

Pros

Great exposure to ideas, good broad experience that can be applied to other jobs

Cons

Lots of infighting at the top, leaks down to lower levels. The Forum makes poor hiring decisions and teams suffer.
