Is this your company?

A center of excellence, a career springboard of sorts, but an often dysfunctional and dispiriting organization - Senior Project Manager World Economic Forum Employee Review

Pros

Good brand name Good salary (top-of-the-range for foundations) and benefits You can build a great network A smart, young, and attractive staff

Cons

However intellectual your job appears on paper, you will spend a substantial proportion of your work day dealing with logistics, internal turf wars, and management's weather-vane-like approach to the organization's programs, strategy, and vision. Limited career path Top-down management makes the place feel like a fiefdom

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.
