International Rescue Committee reviews

Management's dissatisfaction with an individual may also impact the client’s perception of that person. Additionally, it appears that the policies of the organization are not consistently enforced by those in leadership positions. There is a noticeable lack of organization, absence of established processes, and a deficiency in consistency. Individuals who identify as Hispanic may find themselves in a minority position, which can lead to feelings of marginalization. Furthermore, management may struggle to effectively communicate with clients due to a lack of proficiency in the necessary language. It is important to note that bilingualism is not a requirement for leadership positions within the organization. However a majority of the clue and family’s speak another language.

Poor management. People in managerial positions are promoted based on favoritism or certain agenda/trends rather than skills. As an outcome, you get micro-managers, control freaks, passive-aggressive narcissists, short-tempered morons, and people who simply do not show up to do their job or ever respond to your emails/inquiries yet continue to be praised by senior colleagues at every meeting. And all of these amazing people are supposed to manage "trauma-informed" services and are regularly "trained" on mental health importance, harassment, bullying, corruption prevention, DEI, and other essential skills, that none of them bother to apply in their day-to-day operations. High turnover: direct service staff is always overburdened with work and leave after 1-2 years, some even after a few months. New hires are welcomed with complete chaos and have to learn skills on the go. Some managers hire new staff/interns, and then forget to even show up for their first day at work. Low opportunities to develop your career beyond the field office boundaries. HQ jobs are unreachable or distributed among "friends", and international deployments are probably even worse to compete for. The whole organization had a huge data breach a few months ago, and staff were told to keep it down and never disclose it to anyone outside. The issue took many (!) days to resolve, and no formal email was sent to notify stakeholders, partners, or clients.
