Pros

I worked at RFK Center as a legal intern. While my immediate supervisor was caring and concerned about my learning and grown, the senior staff could care less. Nothing else positive to say.

Cons

Senior staff could care less about their interns. All they care about are fancy parties, congressional shin-digs and brown nosing. They do not obtain any RESULTS. They have their laureates fly into DC for for speeches at events to show them off then they fly the laureates back to their home country to face the same strife they came here to get help for but instead get No help in the cause!

Pros

- The Business & Human Rights team is filled with a passionate, high-performing, and creative leader who can curate peer forums and investment conferences for meaningful dialogue and connection. - Under the leadership of the Head of Investor Relations, the organization was able to delivered a historic success for the annual summer investor conference — both in reputation and in fundraising impact across the organization. - Mission-driven culture with significant external visibility and opportunity to drive systemic change.

Cons

- The COO lacks the strategic and operational acumen required to support or scale the organization's most impactful investor initiatives. His decision-making often slows momentum and demoralizes staff, especially those driving measurable results. - There is a noticeable disconnect between operations and programmatic work, leading to internal friction and inefficiencies. - Concerns exist internally about financial transparency by the highest-level position of leadership, specifically around discretionary funds. This is an area that merits independent review to ensure donor trust and regulatory compliance. - Underpay and overwork
