Pros

Amazing benefits, decent pay for the sector, great coworkers -- some of the smartest, most dedicated folks I have ever worked with. A relief to work at a globally renowned, well-funded org that is not struggling to stay afloat.

Cons

No org is without its challenges. Like many others, HRW came to reckon with its own internal structures of racism, sexism, etc. in a real way the past couple of years. There is a lot change going on internally, but I believe it will ultimately be for the best, and will make HRW a stronger, more just place to work.

Pros

Flexible hours, decent pay, great colleagues, international reputation, many opportunities for networking and travelling.

Cons

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.

Pros

Good learning environment. Flexible work hours.

Cons

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.
