Lack of direction, overpaid senior staff, culture of bullying, failure to appreciate staff
Pros
* used to attract brightest and the best in the human rights field - some are still there, but many have left in recent years * resources to do whatever you want * a well-known brand that opens lots of doors
Cons
* high salaries of some - eg £200k + for SG - mean people might be attracted for the wrong reasons * organisation has been through huge change in recent years - at a cost of millions of pounds and a loss of experienced staff who held significant institutional memory - for what gains * organisation seems incapable of getting rid staff who seriously under-perform while still drawing big salaries, when faced with possibility of negative publicity * unclear what direction the organisation is headed - trying to cover too many areas * too little accountability for how money is spent, bearing in mind money comes from the general public
