Where should I start? The first thing I would say is seriously evaluate accepting an offer from this place. If you have any other options, take something else. You will be overworked, and be expected to do the workload of 3+ people. Given the noble mission of the organization, I was initially willing to take on the heavy workload, but it became impossible to do so in such a toxic work environment. You will be micromanaged and your work will be picked apart and your every suggestion or pushback will be questioned and scrutinized. Management is always right and employees are expected to be robots executing orders without questioning or pushback. Employee moral is very low, and employee turnover is very high. Senior management has no concern for the physical, mental and emotional well-being of employees. Employees are pushed out/demoted or let go for political reasons, and the remaining employees all know they cannot go to HR to report the terrible/toxic working conditions. Employees are constantly living in fear of being fired. Managers threaten employees about going to HR or make claims about how it won’t “help.” Employees do not report misconduct and everything that happens here because they are afraid of retaliation. Employees are encouraged to overlook harassment, discriminating comments, actions and jokes. The strong performers who have other options for employment don’t stick around this place. In the years that I worked there (not many) I saw entire teams (strong performers) leave the organization, and then the new hires also leave because of how terrible management and working conditions are. You will be expected to create and revamp programs under unrealistic timelines and without the propoper support or resources. Do yourself a favor, don’t accept a job offer here. ZERO opportunities for professional development. You will be guilted into not taking vacation, or made to feel like a slacker if you do take vacation or don’t work crazy long hours.

You’ll learn a lot by being thrown into the fire and constantly having to navigate ancient office politics. There are a handful of great managers but the majority of upper management take advantage of staff and make you work all the time without recognition. The feeling across all departments is that staff are overworked, under paid, and that nothing changes despite overwhelming outcry (see all the recent reviews). Most staff do not talk to HR because they are terrified of retribution (something managers hint at) and many of us can’t use our past supervisors as a reference for the same reason. Turnover is high and the organization doesn’t acknowledge it.
