Pros

Enjoy working relationships with decent coworkers, trying to do their best in a toxic working environment.

Cons

This nonprofit is NOT honest or transparent. Major HR challenges - senior leadership will not address workplace harassment issues. Clients have no confidence. Talented people never stay, or are driven away.

Our employees are our most valuable asset and we take claims of harassment seriously. We have instituted mandatory training and disciplinary measures to ensure IBTS is a safe work environment for our employees. We invite you to share your concerns with our Human Capital (HRhelp@ibts.org) and/or Legal (legal@ibts.org) teams. Transparency is also improving, with our refreshed management team sharing more information than ever before. We have brought a lot of new, experienced people on board in the last year to help bring IBTS forward. Again, please address your concerns to HRhelp@ibts.org and/or legal@ibts.org and we will respond within two business days.

Pros

IBTS has actually has been able to recruit solid professionals in the past couple of years, however, they cannot retain anyone with real talent. Generally, the workforce is intelligent and nice. Some directors and managers are good and try to improve the culture, but the senior management is another story, unfortunately. IBTS provides a mish-mash of professional services and is trying to become a top company, but the founders will ensure failure unfortunately. If you're lucky, you can work on interesting projects. They are lucky to have won the contracts they have.

Cons

The top two executives (mayor and vice-mayor of crazy town) are downright unstable. No professionalism - must completely control every aspect of everything. When they're not literally screaming and fighting with each other, they are screaming at and blaming their staff for every problem, with no HR check on their tempers. They believe they are superior managers, but they don't have a clue. Their professional skills are non-existent and their manners are horrible. They do way more to damage the culture of the organization than any disgruntled employee could. No ethics, no civilized behavior, no basic talents. They run their business by the seat of their pants, and there's no telling what the books look like! People are unhappy but stay because they have to have their jobs. Their clients are not fans!

Pros

Some of the workers are helpful and nice. They provide laptops in order to work from home if or when needed

Cons

This place is by far the most disorganized and unprofessional Office setting I have ever worked in. One person runs the office, although she cannot form a proper English sentence. She is verbally abusive and a bully. They overload the office personal with other people’s work. They do not care if you are overwhelmed, they will just tell you to handle it. The best way to survive in this place is to do the bare minimum of your job. That seems to be the only way to receive raises as well as recognition.
