Bad culture. Worst petty management politics ever seen. No process. Current Executive Director very biased, bossy, arrogant, plays on people's weaknesses No leadership qualities. Too much micromanaging.Makes everyone's life so difficult those who are working and efficient. The old staff poses a big time threat to the new joiners. Please think more than twice if you have to take up any assignment or a job especially under the current ED's leadership the entire work atmosphere is spoilt and biased because of the self centred attitude. ED is confined to one's office avoids interaction with People gets carried away by ear saying. Hence no job security on anyone job here!!! Anyone might be under stress or come under threat of losing a job because of wrong judgements and gets carried away by the ear sayings about others. Job is under danger!!!. Hence to be careful choosing the job here in this organisation. Efficient people and their integrity is questioned by the present ED and never bothered about the old people sitting without any work ethics. It is just second home for them for ages and making efficient and professional, productive people' s life difficult to work here. Hence no growth. No increment. No recognition. Only old people are awarded and promoted. Highly biased atmosphere. A friend of mine I have seen her walking out one day suddenly her work came to end here due to a nasty politics of the present ED. She had to often be treated for her high blood pressure due to the politics played by the present ED along with a new Development Director who is very toxic , bossy, arrogant does not value and respect people, ill treats people.These two pose a great threat to all the professional, efficient and simple people here. This organisation is going no where. Please again, think many times before you take up a job here.....Read More
