Save the Children US reviews

Extremely political and surprisingly cliquey. If you were not a part of the "in crowd" your ideas for improvements were ignored or ridiculed. Also the organization relies heavily - too heavily - on decision-making by consensus. If it's nearly impossible to get 2 people to agree upon a decision/conclusion, imagine the chaos when you need to include 10+. The organization needs to come to terms with the fact that its growth has positioned it to operate more like a for-profit entity and not a collective 'kumbaya' club. IMO

Can be very political at the upper management level, staff can get lost in the domestic offices. There is sometimes too much emphasis on image, sometimes some really bad communication from senior management about tough decisions, and sometimes a bit clubby with the people who've been around for a long time. But generally the good largely out weighs the bad by far.
