Toxic - Associate Human Rights Watch Employee Review

Pros

Prestigious and rigorous organization. Smart and knowledgeable colleagues.

Cons

Lots of lip service on DEI but little real progress. A shocking gap between “local” and US/exec salaries; a new compensation structure is worsening this gap. “Gotcha” culture of competition and bullying; toxic environment. Senior managers tolerate and engage in abusive behavior. New members have joined the senior management team in recent years and promised reform, but the changes so far have not been positive ones, especially in terms of DEI, compensation, and workplace culture.

Pros

Flexible hybrid environment, unionized support staff, amazing coworkers, learning every day

Management only looks out for themselves at the expense of others in the org. Lots of turnover and people openly discuss wanting to leave constantly.
