Great people, horrible management, constant layoffs

Business Outlook

Pros

- Brilliant, well meaning, intelligent, hard working people - Important cause - Decent annual leave

Cons

- Horrible management at C-Suite, constant rotation, infighting, and egos - Huge amount of (unnecessary) red tape/beurocracy - No direction, months of work often wasted with changing goals - Constant redundancies. I was there for 18 months and there were 4 rounds of redundancies and it’s clear there have been more since. - Little to no upward mobility if you aren’t in the inner circle - Average to low play with non-profit as an excuse

Chaotic, an NGO trying and failing to transform into a tech company because it doesn't understand tech

Business Outlook

Pros

Good holiday allowance. Mission is good. Some genuinely excellent people.

Cons

Chaos. Multiple rounds of restructuring/redundancies. Churn in senior leadership. Massive disconnect between leadership/strategic vision and the delivery teams, Always trying to boil the ocean rather than gradual change. No training budget. No career progression path. No opportunities to provide feedback on managers. Some terrible people managers who are clueless about how to support their staff in a difficult environment. Business outlook is poor, outpaced by better delivering competition and battered by global headwinds.
