Avoid working here at all costs

Pros

The people working below the corporate level and project teams are mostly very smart, hard working and motivated by all the right reasons. Depending on the role there are opportunities to travel.

Cons

Where to begin? This organisation preaches 'positive impact' but only cares about enriching it's shareholders (all senior leadership within the company) at all costs. This means working people into the ground and making all project decisions based on maximising profits rather than what is the best for beneficiaries. Palladium has lost its way and now just funds useless acquisition after useless acquisition whilst punishing those working in international development which is still responsible for 90% of revenue in EMEA. Work conditions are awful, leadership and HR only there to squeeze every last drop of people's productivity and have absolutely no oversight for terrible decisions they've made. Everyone is trying to leave as quickly as possible before the company is sold on and broken up for parts.

Pros

The people. Probably the only reason people stay on at Palladium as long as they do. The Health team is great and has a few good people with a vision and leadership qualities, but apart from that it's a sinking ship.

Cons

HR is a mess. High turnover, average benefits. No proper on-boarding process for new employees. Very haphazard. Lot of internal friction ever since the merger with Carana. As far as CEOs go, Kim Bredhauer is apathetic and uninspiring at best.

Cons

No work/life balance, very long working hours Some management are non appreciative of the hard work & effort i.e. pinpointing small errors while ignoring the positive side Some seniors & management play preferences depending on who they like more However, some people could be the right fit for the company
