Uncertain future for staff and business model

Anonymous employee

Pros

Pros: Good name recognition and outside reputation (for now) Interesting, smart colleagues Good decisions lately to cut upper management staff Good work-life balance and flexibility.

Cons

Cons: Low morale and high uncertainty due to continued downsizing and reorganization. This has been going on for 3 years. People are drip, drip being let go. Lack of dynamic leadership - low energy is not inspiring. Big funding challenges - money is running low and there is lots of infighting to get pieces of it. Politics and favorites play a big role in who gets chosen. Bad press - every now and then there is an article that risks lasting damage to the organization’s reputation. Benefits cut recently makes them average (they used to be really good.)

Missing passion for the mission in New York

Pros

- Great mission - Passionate field/programmatic staff - Improvements were definitely being made by the new president

Cons

- Non-programmatic staff often lack any insight into what the organisation does - Lack of information flow from New York to "field" offices (RA refer to any office outside the US as a field office, which doesn't help make people feel included) - Some US staff are wilfully ignorant of time differences, and expect people in other time zones to attend meetings well outside their working hours, when they themselves wouldn't dream of getting to work before 10am
