An organization in retreat and decline - Recensione dipendente - Senior Managing Director presso Teach for America

1. Low salary and lofty titles. 2. Unstable work environment - regular rounds of layoffs to cut costs. Two consecutive and large round of layoffs. After that layoffs were done in stealth mode. I suspect cost reduction will continue to be the norm at TFA as the organization continues to shrink and retreat. 3. Not a meritocracy and a lot of organizational politics. Competence and results seen disconnected from career progression. 4. Leadership comes from an education background and tends to have an unusual style, which at times can be refreshing. However, as demonstrated by constant lay offs and turbulence, they did not anticipate decline and were way too reactive.
