Terrible place to work, should get zero stars

Anonymous employee

Pros

Good fringe benefits, but not worth it..

Cons

Terrible leadership, zero management skills at upper management, no growth opportunities for anyone who doesn’t go drink with the team after work. No scalable business goals or vision.. no place for constructive feedback for management unless you are on your way out (they won’t hear it anyway). No training resources, internal or external.. this organization function as a mom and pops shop.. but unfortunately they do that with tax payer funds.

Overall a disappointing experience

Pros

Pay is higher on average in comparison to competitors and like-minded orgs. There are some truly brilliant and friendly folks working at Internews, especially those based at its field offices. Culture is laidback (e.g. wearing jeans on Monday is normal, most people are encouraged to work home on Fridays, frequent happy hours).

Cons

Internews prizes itself on being women-led and “inclusive”. But how inclusive are you really if you only have 5 people of color (in an office of 70 staff) working at your headquarters in DC? Given that one of its missions is to promote the voices of minorities abroad, it’s a shame that this value isn’t reflected in both management and non-management. From personal observation, this isn’t the most pleasant environment for ethnic minorities given the prevalence of microaggressions that are casually written off or dismissed as simply jokes. Supervisors do not receive proper training in managing people. HR genuinely seems to care for employees but is heavily understaffed.

Wonderful place to work!

Pros

Culture of working together and treating people as human. Strong sense of mission. Smart and engaged employees. Interesting & fascinating work. Diverse set of activities and projects you can get involved in. Great place for women to work, very inclusive and many women in leadership roles. Great support for LGBT employees.

Cons

The office in DC is (mostly) open floor plan - and like most offices - lit by florescent lights, but you can work from home for quiet if need be. Cubicles are spacious however, and there are always rooms you can use for phone calls and/or conferences.
