Pros

Overall the mission at NYBC is great and fulfilling if you are interested in a more humane endeavor. The people who work there are great human beings and for the most part really care about what they are doing

Cons

As in any company management will be blamed for many problems but in the case of NYBC they unfortunately permeate throughout the leadership. It is a very reactionary environment where obstacles that should have been seen weeks if not months ahead of time are quickly dismissed and then the organization is surprised when it does not overcome these obstacles. Recruitment still uses direct mail and paper flyers as large part of its overall marketing mix and barely uses any kind of digital strategies to reach out to its donors. Most of the technologies are outdated and in a goal focused organization this can be frustrating as you are expected to meet these goals with obsolete tools.

Pros

The job pays well, but they have a hire to fire model. They are very concerned with optics so they want your physical body in the office to justify their real estate costs.

Cons

The senior leadership doesn’t care about its people. The new COO, has very little emotional intelligence and zero patience with people. The senior leaders demonstrated a pattern of poor transparency, inconsistent leadership, weak advocacy, and politically motivated decision-making. Rather than providing clear expectations and support, they created an environment of scrutiny and shifting standards which was, isolating, and professionally undermining. If you are applying to jobs here, look elsewhere. They have no mercy and will fire you at the drop of a hat. This will be a toxic work culture. Read the other reviews.
