Pluspunten
Strong network, storied history, principled board, and a selection of the most intelligent, curious, and interesting talent in the DC area (at least for now). It could be a great organization if leadership would set clear goals, get out of the way, and let individual teams achieve.
Minpunten
The most dysfunctional organization I've ever encountered by far. The federal government is more efficient. Leadership is not on the same page about the vision, strategies, and objectives of the organization, and as a result they push their miscommunication and disagreement down to lower staff - causing unnecessary conflict and stress across the organization. Expect back to back meetings all day, every day - but the only way to actually get things done is through gossip and back-channels. The organization has restructured at least 5 times in the past 18 months, and has seen high turnover of senior managers and long-tenured employees. The only way to survive in this environment is to stop caring, and become a yes man. Agreeableness is the only virtue valued.
