Director of IT at Youth For Understanding
in Bethesda, MD

What do you like about working at Youth For Understanding?

"Technically, it is one of the most challenging positions I have ever taken. Rather than building the software and systems, I am taking a 50+ year old organization and replacing all the paper workflow processes with software we are developing in-house. At the same time, I am completely rebuilding the infrastructure as well."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"The goals of the organization are wonderful and incredibly rewarding. Make sure that what you want to accomplish is possible and try to get a sense of how you will be affected by all the conflict that is internal to the organization."

What don't you like about working at Youth For Understanding?

"The culture is an outgrowth of the lack of leadership and organization mission. There are 10+ directors and they do not work together. The overall environment is one of disharmony and open antagonism towards others."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I have suggested many times that the CEO should engage a coach and the organizational chart changed a bit so that it is not so flat at the director tier. Lastly, I am leading an effort to develop a real and tangible organization plan that spans three years."
