Seefar Reviews

Unethical business practices (including lying about capabilities to donors), low salaries for early/mid-career professionals but not for the directors, staff expected to work a lot of overtime, promotions and rewards based on favoritism. Ask about the Hunger Games - leadership asked staff to VOTE for who would remain and who would be laid off. Very dystopian, left many former staff with PTSD. Just one example of the terrible culture. There used to be a lot more negative Glassdoor reviews but the org has apparently paid to have them removed.

Senior management requests current staff to leave positive reviews on Glassdoor to balance out negative ones, so be wary of recent 5 star reviews! Chaotic and poorly managed. There is high staff turnover, with no accountability for Directors. Project teams are set on a lower tier than “global” level staff, both in terms of job stability and opportunities for professional development. Fully profit driven, with significant focus on increasing margins on grants, to the benefit of executive staff. No clear organizational structure or theory of change. Work-life balance and flexibility are touted as core organizational values, but the culture encourages competition and overwork. Opportunities for professional development are controlled by senior management and are discouraged so that these funds can be used for other purposes. Overall, an opaque and toxic work environment.
