Still toxic - Director Amnesty International Employee Review

Pros

Strong mission, when it goes right it goes right, decent work/life balance

Cons

To do anything at Amnesty, you need buy-in from a host of thematic and country experts. Getting that kind of alignment is difficult though and because nobody is incharge lots of initiatives fall by the wayside. The way that staff end up filling their time and finding relevance is by blocking other people and politicking. The organisation doesn't achieve as much as it should so people act out even more in frustration. Amnesty's workplace was branded "toxic" a couple of years ago by an independent report and that hasn't changed.

Pros

It was great. Working with mission-driven individuals is always a great motivator. Everyone was pleasant to work with.

Cons

None. Everything that was stated in the JD is what I got and experienced.
