Sub-optimal experience, questionable management

Business Outlook

Pros

Two companies under one name: Clinic and Foundation. Different experience under each. Fellow doctors and staff at Clinic report generally a good learning experience.

Cons

Colleagues on Foundation side report a less positive experience; with verbally abusive and ambitious executives. Little or no loyalty. 60-100 hour weeks with considerably less than market pay. Expectation is to work through lunch. No credit or acknowledgment given for high performance unless PR-worthy. Focus on rich, high-profile clients that can lead to large donations. Staff turnover extremely high with frequent firings without notice and explanation; employees are fired on spot and immediately escorted out the door.

Quality staff, cynical and manipulative executive staff

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart and ambitious staff. While a young org, the founder and his executive team work hard at raising money and creating a public image. The organization is currently the subject of a workplace lawsuit (see Wikipedia article), but for now having the experience on your CV can still be a positive.

Cons

Much higher than industry average staff turnover (both voluntary and forced termination). No reviews or warning, but immediate termination and escorting out of the building.
