      Pros

      Compassion in World Farming is a very special purpose led organisation where you feel part of something meaningful every day. The UK HQ team and wider global organisation, is full of passionate, talented people who care deeply about the mission, each other and the environment. Within the team I work in, there is a real culture of support, especially from my line manager, who genuinely invest in our growth and wellbeing. Opportunities for learning and expanding within my role are encouraged, and the hybrid working model offers a great balance, and is a model I really appreciate. Benefits like cashback schemes and wellbeing support are great. Compassion values resilience and adaptability, and actively tries to support you in return.

      Cons

      The nature of the work can sometimes be emotionally challenging, especially if you're closely connected to the issues we campaign on. It can be tough to witness the realities we’re working to change, and you need to be resilient and flexible. However, I have found that the shared passion, and sense of purpose, can really help you stay motivated and supported.

      Pros

      People are so passionate, such a worthy cause. Knowledgeable organisation doing great work.

      Cons

      CEO needs changing to someone more in touch with their staff and not so egotistical.

      Avoid unless you are really desperate

      Pros

      Their declared cause is worthy and some people are actually trying to help animals, but regretfully, not the  "global" leadership or the execs.

      Cons

      I see their former employees posting about new jobs on LinkedIn every few weeks and feel that i need to add a word of warning. CIWF was the worst, the pettiest, and the most toxic environment I worked in 25+ years of my professional career in multiple countries and across commercial, non-profit and government sectors. The entire directorship level at HQ are both unqualified and toxic. The leadership and the board could not care less about the staggering turnover rate. With their quite low salaries there are really no reasons to apply for their vacancies. Unless you are really desperate, I really recommend against having anything to do with this org.
