Pros

The clients make it all worth it.

Cons

After hearing that CEO George McDonald recently sent an e-mail to all employees asking them to balance out the negative reviews on glassdoor, I could not help but post a follow-up review. This points to a fundamental problem with The Doe Fund, which is that it is more concerned about saving face than actually addressing its own internal challenges. Perhaps if they put as much energy into employee-enhancement activities, such as a competitive salary structure, opportunities for internal growth, etc. as they do into silly e-mails about boosting their ratings on a website, they might get the results they want. I also find it disturbing that this e-mail was sent so that the ratings would not be scewed. Yet this initiative of theirs will do just that. I'm sure employees will feel responsible for posting a faborable review, whether or not that's how they really feel. So, really, they are okay with this site mis-representing their organization, so long as it leans in their favor. Unbelievable. If a current employee has their hands on this letter, you should do all users of this site a favor and post it.
