Pluspunten
I work full time at HRF. The work-life balance is excellent with no set hours and the ability to work from home--except during conferences where you can kiss goodbye to work life balance as everyone pitches in to create what, year after year, is hands-down the best production experience I have ever seen. The job offers me the ability to travel globally and visit and work with world-class human rights defenders while traveling comfortably (we are consistently allowed to stay in good hotels and out flights, though coach, and never multiple layovers). Good pay for the limited amount of stress and pressure in non-conference periods. Great office located right in the middle of Koreatown with an unbeatable view. Lots of team-building lunches and dinners and a spectacular brain trust in the office. I love working here. The mission is unlike any other at a human rights group. Senior management is considerate and professional. I would recommend HRF to anyone who wants to learn the nuts and bolts of effective human rights campaigning and see the impact of their work on the lives of those most oppressed.
Minpunten
For four months in 2019 a handful of employees made life at HRF miserable for the staff and management. They were laid off. And now, hell hath no fury like a group of employees who were laid off and, in the space of just a few months, obsessively post reviews on Glassdoor as retaliation. The truth is the organization is 15 years old and will weather the nastiness of 2019.
