Pros

Opportunity to travel Exposure to high ranking officials from other institutions in the field

Kontras

Micromanagement by senior staff Inefficient use of staff resources, yet insanely cheap with financials Ideological echo-chamber that does not take kindly to differing opinions. Inability of senior staff to prioritize work efficiently (you'll end up spending your time doing meaningless crap thats already been done by 100 other orgs, who did it better than CPI could ever do given limited resources) Seriously incompetent senior staff. Its honestly shocking to see the people that have made it to that level. Promotions are based on how well you are liked by CEO and senior leadership, not competence (the most glaring example of this is the current senior leadership - good friends of CEO but utterly incompetent).

I want to thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent and collaborative environment for all our employees so I’m disappointed to hear that your experience did not match our intentions. We value and consider all feedback and we’ll continue to find ways to improve but I wanted to address a couple of your specific concerns here. CPI is made up of a small and dedicated team with broad and varied knowledge and expertise. Decisions on project resourcing and staff promotions are based on precise assessments of needs and availability. Since our inception in 2009, CPI has grown very quickly and our administrative and operational functions including our development and training program has not always managed to keep up with that expansion. This is a big focus for us this year that I hope will see improvements at all levels of our organisation. Our dedication is, in my opinion, what sets us apart, our staff are passionate and dedicated to finding solutions to break down the barriers to combatting climate change. Thanks again for the feedback and best of luck in your future endeavours. Barbara Buchner, Executive Director, Climate Finance

Pros

Meaningful work Good for network for people who want to work in multilateral and non-profit agencies

Kontras

1. Corruption and toxic culture- promotion is determined by how well you are liked by management not how well you do. To the opposite, if you do too well, manager will feel threatened and try to get you out because there is no accountability to managers. The grants they manage were given to "friends and family" orgs and not by the quality of the application. Everything is about "relationships" and "being liked by CEO and your manager" and it is utterly a corrupted organization that abuse the power and donation they receive to give to people they like. 2. Top leadership blindly trust the wrong people- there is no oversight or accountability to managers. If you have a good manager, lucky you, but if you are assigned a bad manager, it is hell. My manager treated me like crap, insulted me during 1 1, attacked my personality, took all credits, and used politics to ruin my reputation even years after I left. She repeatedly spread rumors and false accusations about me and tried to stop people at CPI from staying in touch with me. She did that to multiple people we worked with and yet she is still there. This speaks to the lack of management of reality from top leaders and CEO blindly place trust on the wrong person without investing time to truly understand the problems. - No upward trajectory. You stuck there doing work that can be done pretty much by AI and become "one of them" and "yes" man to CEO and that's how you stay,
