Pros

One of the most respected human rights organizations internationally. HRW does not receive funding from governments, which allows for independent agenda setting and objective reporting. Salary comparatively higher than other human rights organizations. Leadership open to feedback and input from staff.

Cons

Given the size of the organization, action and response tends to be slower. Reports take too long to be published.

Management only looks out for themselves at the expense of others in the org. Lots of turnover and people openly discuss wanting to leave constantly.
