Human Rights Watch reviews about "hour"

Senior management does not seriously take into account important issues around the wellbeing of staff and diversity The organisation is very insular

Currently in a major institutional transition, and it is difficult for new people to navigate. Lots of hierarchy! Confusing structure. Review process for publishing articles, research etc is terrible - needs to be better streamlined.

Culture is very white & American centric. White saviour mentality when working on global majority. Unchecked problematic behaviour among leadership. Lack of clarity on salaries and benefits. Low pay, long work hours. Lack of structures means that your growth or experience is dependent on your relationship with your manager, your manager’s interests and your manager’s access to power. HR seems powerless.

- slow career development -

Long hours and not particularly well compensated

The below applies for all European offices. Extremely long hours, intense daily schedule, extra hours are NOT paid, taking compensation time for the extra hours is frowned upon and hard to do, questionable and non-transparent ways of deciding what topic the organization deals with. Payment is very low, after covering the living expenses you are left with nothing (working poor). Limited opportunities for professional development. Interns are UNPAID. Internship positions are given out as favours.
