      Pros

      Nice office in central London

      Cons

      Truly awful culture Entire departments are micromanaged by senior staff with little to no management skills People who are in favour are promoted with little thought given to process There's little respect for expertise: everything is rewritten by senior managers and entire plans are changed on their whims Senior staff are driven by ego and are jostling for position, they aren't driven by what's right for the charity Most junior staff are unhappy No strategic vision for where the charity should go Conflict between departments - no cohesion across the charity whatsoever

      Used to be great but changed

      Pros

      CEO and Fundraising Director are very good, its a brilliant cause, many staff are so dedicated to the cause and its been a friendly place to work.

      Cons

      Very poor understanding of how to effectively manage people through change so no buy in and support for big changes being made. This starts near the top with some old school command and control leadership (not the CEO who is highly respected) HR function needs modernising and brought up to date. Ego driven and bullying tactics used high up unfortunately

      Thanks for your review. I’m pleased to read you felt a strong sense of commitment and dedication to the cause from colleagues across the organisation and that it is a friendly place to work, many others feel that way too. I am sorry to read that during your time working at Breast Cancer Now you felt as you did about some leadership styles. Across the organisation we work hard to build the best leadership and culture and to make us a great place to work. Your feedback helps us to do this. We do not tolerate bullying and if you would be prepared to share your experiences as to what went wrong in terms raising this and the other issues you mention I would be happy to listen.
