Working at Keshet is draining, demoralizing, and toxic. The CEO and CPO are inept, indifferent, and completely disconnected from the realities of frontline staff and daily operations. They only show interest when there is personal gain involved, ignoring genuine concerns, complaints, and the needs of staff or participants. Leadership is manipulative, insincere, and performative, fostering a culture of fear, favoritism, and subtle harassment. Dedicated employees are routinely overlooked, while preferred teams are praised regardless of actual effort or results. Turnover is rampant, and anyone who challenges leadership or raises legitimate issues is sidelined, reassigned, or let go.
Daily operations are chaotic and uncoordinated. Supervisors are often absent, disengaged, or overly reliant on the CPO while neglecting their own responsibilities. Check-ins are infrequent, superficial, or blindsiding, leaving staff unsupported and frustrated. Attempts to improve systems, provide candid feedback, or take initiative are dismissed or punished. Recognition is hollow, used as a facade to make leadership appear competent rather than genuinely acknowledging contributions. Employee morale and professional growth are ignored entirely.
Keshet’s organizational culture is toxic at every level. Communication is poor, collaboration between teams is minimal, and decisions are made without input from those affected. Leadership regularly relies on favoritism, microaggressions, and performative positivity to maintain control, while shirking accountability, transparency, and integrity. Talented, committed employees are forced to navigate a workplace where leadership is self-serving, fake, and actively discourages honesty and initiative. Rampant favoritism, excessive turnover, and manipulative, incompetent leaders make Keshet an unsustainable, demoralizing, and profoundly frustrating place to work.
