Toxic - Recensione dipendente - Program Manager presso Nonviolent Peaceforce

Everyone is super friendly and they give you lots of opportunities to learn and build skills. Lots of flexibility and an overall great intern experience.

I don't have an negatives or cons

Teammates did their best to support one another, and external community-based organization & partners were incredible to collaborate with.

The organization's culture is hostile to QTPOC and the white men and women in US and global leadership struggle to imagine a world without the violence of policing. QTPOC experienced harassment and bullying, both micro and macro aggressions, particularly from the white women. One employee said, "I have a fear of giving feedback to Black people." Leadership frequently micromanaged QTPOC at the organization, and white women in leadership were constantly trying to force QTPOC to collaborate with local police departments, even when that was dangerous to their safety, and unnecessary given the programming goals. A teammate who spoke up about the continued harm QTPOC experienced was fired as soon as there was a lull in programming. Leadership was aware that one of their direct reports was sexually harassing another direct report, and failed to intervene or take any course of action. The HR team was made aware of the ongoing harassment and discrimination, along with leadership, with both deciding to not take action to support team members who are impacted. To this day, the organization still nonconsensually uses photos of QTPOC without their consent, to advertise their programming and imply that the internal culture and values are grounded in justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion - when the reality is that they're not.
