Pros

Cleaning and fooding staff members are kind and humble.

Cons

Very destructive way of giving feedback by the program leads. The facilitators are the face of the organisation, and are yet treated like dirt sometimes. The performance feedback is provided out in the open for everyone to hear despite there being small conference rooms where some privacy and respect can be maintained. Program leads themselves dont know ground realities the way facilitators do but feel its their right to gossip about everyone and give feedback insultingly. There is only one hr person who again couldnt care less about you once you're leaving. Most of your energy will go into worrying about who is gossiping about who, and which program lead is going inside the directors cabin to gossip about others. The director is hardly seen in office and has appointed a senior person to be their puppet and continue the games. Also like someone had mentioned before...you cannot find proper records of the work that has been done ... and how can you even, when its mostly about surviving through politics and not through your work. The director has visited one, maybe two underprivileged schools and feels they are in a position to address the big problems because they have now seen it all - it doesn't work that way, ask someone who's been on the ground doing the actual work after surviving all the gossip and drama in the organisation. Even the program leads have not done any core ground work and are busy exploiting people. Stay in the company by putting others down is the trick. I am sorry to say but I would never ever recommend such an organisation to anyone. Having the money to start a foundation and the funds to hire people does not equate to actually doing quality work and this organisation is a classic example of it.

Pros

1. Salary is on time, leaves are given easily 2. Associated with brand name RPG 3. Team members have great potential and are helpful

Cons

1. No vision. Weak and bad leadership and management. They lack empathy and understanding towards their own employees. The way of work and interventions are decided and changed according to their mood, whims, and fancies due to which the team suffers. The team members have great potential to make an impact and grow but due to bad leadership and management, it is hampered. 2. Apart from meagre salary, there are totally no benefits (monetary/ non-monetary) of any kind- no retreats, outbound, not even a card/cake on birthday, absolutely nothing. No value/ recognition of employees. The organization doesn't lack funds to care for its employees and support their growth and development, but its the leadership and management that lacks the ability, willingness and thought process to provide. 3. No transparency, outdated website with no details of financials, interventions, board and trustee members, 4. Though feedbacks are taken via google form surveys, they don't really matter. There is no change seen. 5. No opportunities of professional learning, growth and development. There is hardly any training organized/ conducted for the team. 6. The attrition rate is very high indicating that there is something really wrong going on. 7. No streamlined structure, clarity, processes, innovation, technology, overall the organisational strategy is weak and keeps changing. 8. Ironically, the foundation has got Great Place to Work badge, which questions the credibility of both the organizations.

Dear Member, Thank you for writing. We are sure that how we conduct and operate is been thoroughly monitored and hence the actions within the organization are well informed. In the last few months we have been taking conscious calls towards exits incases where it terms to ethical or behavioural misconduct. At any circumstances, we shall not be in a position to put our environment at work on stake. We have an amazing team and also a pool of ex colleagues, who have been of great value to us. However, we understand your situation and hope that while you now get through a new opportunity, you will learn from the past mistakes and perform at best of ethics and value going forward. All the very best.
