Pros

Good retirement plan, interesting work, well-respected organization, travel opportunities

Cons

Treatment of lower level staff is a big problem here. Supervisors are allowed to comment negatively on their staff's personal lives, sexuality, clothing/hair/makeup, economic status, and work position and mistreat staff based on their personal biases. Supervisors are often disrespectful to lower level staff, even in the presence of senior leadership and are not reprimanded. Staff have felt abused at times, cried at work, and sought new work opportunities because management issues were never addressed. Supervisors have also compelled staff to work when they were sick and run personal errands for them. Morale is low and turnover is high. Staff are disgruntled and people are generally rude. It is not a huge organization but there is a lot of bureaucracy. The culture here needs major improvement.

Pros

PRB is an amazing place to work, with dedicated, intelligent and fun professionals. The flexible work schedule is done so well. The office space is beautiful. The projects that we work on are instrumental in making global change around access to healthcare resources, equity concerns and climate issues. In my short time here, I have begun to make some great relationships, have learned a lot and am enjoying being valued as one of the newest team members.

Cons

The staff work in different time zones around the world, so coordinating times for the teams to get together, can be challenging at times.
