Houston Grand Opera Reviews

The upper level management team is very much an 'old boys club'. Basically if you are not a white male, you will not be treated as well. So many women have left the development team and other departments, and they all say the same thing. CEO insists HGO is a family, but acts very differently behind closed doors and away form donors. We have watched many, many people leave in the last few years for all of the same reason. Poor leadership, poor communication, poor work culture. While some people can do no wrong, some are treated very disrespectfully. You are told to speak up, but it goes no where.

Small hope of advancement; entrenched, rigid senior management; unclear policies and insufficiently documented procedures mean you're always making mistakes and making someone angry; training in byzantine procedures and tech tools is completely inadequate; departments meet incessantly yet remain siloed and unwilling to work cooperatively.
