Pros

- Potential connections - Work in a very international environment - Great mission and meaning to the work

Cons

- Non-transperent, and not performance driven - People are promoted mainly because they are liked - not because they performed well; promotion means relatively nothing, so you have many who shouldn’t be in their positions, with big titles. - The Chairman is a paranoid egomaniac who should have stepped down years ago, so the entire organizational culture is focused on pleasing him and answering to all of his needs - This sets the culture and trickles down to the rest of upper management.

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.
