Pros

Good talented people, phenomenal pioneering work in Social Entrepreneurship with a world class selection process and criteria.

Cons

Unethical full stop. Bullying, lying, harassment and lies. You need to suck up to the CEO to move ahead at this company and there are some staff members who do just that at the detriment of everyone else around them. HR is known to cover up unethical behaviour of those who the CEO favours. In Asia it’s another story completely. The youth team, especially the leader there makes up rampant lies about the work they are doing and impact they’re creating and feeding this to the CEO, completely unacceptable use of resources and ethics. Behaviour of the staff including the gentleman who leads youth years as well as previous leaders of the South East Asia office falls into borderline incompetency. I have heard of Ashoka covering up issues related to ethical behaviour time and time again. Ashoka just shows that you don’t need any form of moral, ethics or real skills to get ahead but how ‘strategic’ you are and how far you’re willing to go to get yourself ahead while pushing others behind.
