Institute For Humane Studies reviews

Office atmosphere was relaxed but emotionally toxic. IHS is notorious for mass layoffs and high turnover rates. Upper management knows this but is not interested in solving the problem. The organization looks completely different in terms of staff just a year later with people leaving or being fired. Four months into my employment at IHS, the entirety of the team who hired me was laid off abruptly. I was given a non-transparent, douplespeakish explanation. As an entry level employee I was ignored and the confusion I faced caused my mental health to suffer severely - I wish to emphasize "severely." This sort of environment makes building good relationships with coworkers difficult and damages personal and professional morale. - Sexual harassment was frequent and occurred regularly. Assailants faced zero repercussions or were promoted. - Discrimination based on sex and race are common

Lack of diversity, high attrition, unclear mission. Upper management is compensated well, junior staff is not.
