CDP reviews

Mickey mouse management in NYC! Despite being a global organization, the NYC office does not match the other offices in professionalism, organization, etc. Little effort made to retain employees. Wages are low--but no surprise here as this is an environmental NGO. Managers tend to be either checked out (working remotely with little day-to-day interaction) or obnoxious micromanagers. No real office manager or HR, meaning that what would be a small problem for a normal office turns into a large problem that saps colleagues' time and productivity. Senior management seems content-deficient, rather than content experts. Few benefits: Good vacation time but workaholic culture means catching guilt for taking it. Bonuses not assured. NO parental leave policy at all, despite young (and mostly female) staff, even after promise after promise and accommodating policies in other offices. Little attempt at forging any kind of corporate culture.

Very low salaries, long working hours, convoluted processes, no opportunities for career progression within CDP.
