Supportive environment, limited long-term growth opportunities - Associate Center for Global Development Employee Review

great work culture and nice people, 30 days of PTO, office close December 25-January 1, and Summer Fridays (ever other Friday off between Labor Day and Memorial Day)

the pay could be better

The benefits to this company include a robust transportation stipend, a professional development stipend, 30 days PTO/year, summer Fridays (every other week), and a 10% 401K contribution after your first year.

The company clearly caters to its senior fellows, much to the frustration of its associate staff. 3 days a week in the office is unnecessary and clearly a tactic to bring lazy staff into the office and conform to leadership's dislike of remote work. There were even threats to monitor keycard swipes of staff to ensure their presence. This was clearly a targeted aim at senior staff that work remotely and travel, but associate staff are left to be punished. 3-5% raises per annum are negligible in this economy and because of the level of bureaucracy, there's no way to plead your case for more. There's a strong lack of direction from up top, which trickles down to each program and department.
