      Pros

      + Junior staff are great (with with heart and conviction) + Offers healthy work-life balance options and flexible working

      Cons

      + Many senior staff have been there too long and aren't great at their jobs, however ELT are too loyal and weak to let them go + ELT is risk averse in a way that limits CDP's potential

      Pros

      One of, if not, the best place I have worked. Some amazing people keeping the organisation pushing forward. Very mission driven organisation. Great opportunity to work with industry actors due to the

      Cons

      Chaotic at times, some long days as well, and the pay isn't great. But this is outweighed by the fantastic people and overall objective.

      Management is mission-optional

      Business outlook

      Pros

      You’ll become a master of navigating ambiguity and changes, not because the work is complex, but because the guidance isn’t there. Unlimited learning opportunities, especially in patience, resilience, and how to self-manage when leadership is on an extended sabbatical (mentally). Colleagues are the best; they are intelligent, supportive, and often united in shared disbelief. The mission looks great on slides. And tote bags and notebooks. Fantastic prep if you ever want to work for the UN or in politics, or survive it.

      Cons

      Leadership philosophy seems to be: 'We support the mission. People? Optional.' Strategic priorities change faster than the seasons, and usually by Monday. Burnout is common, but don’t worry - you can use your generous annual leave to recover from the job you’ll return to. Performance reviews have been “under review” for so long, they might qualify for heritage status. Management presence is mostly symbolic. Decisions are made, then unmade, then handed off to someone who just joined. You’ll hear a lot about impact, values, and transformation. Just not in your day-to-day work.
