World Vision International reviews

Old-school hierarchical culture keeps open communication, innovation and the ability to pivot quickly near zero. Lack of transparency from uninspiring, often short-sighted senior leaders. Regular layoffs and budget cuts lead to near constant "restructures" within teams and departments. Little to no effort is made to engage employees in strategy or decision-making, even when changes significantly affect their entire portfolio of work. Politics, bureaucracy and maintaining the "status quo" are alive and well. Low morale is ubiquitous. Overall a disappointing and sometimes outright bizarre experience working for the largest faith-based relief and development organization in the world.

Rampant travel to conferences and other regional junkets Exec. leadership comprised mostly from private sector without a development background After the March 2014 incident no one was fired. Although sponsorship dropped off a cliff - none of the exec. team lead by example by taking pay cuts. Roles invented for senior those who have been with the org for a long time who want a change Not a friendly working environment for progressive Christians Very little evidence that the development models work
