Cons
- Most of the staff is non-technical and technical abilities in general are not well valued - Poor leadership, the way the organisation is managed has not changed in the last 3 years despite a huge growth in the number of employees - The organisation is mostly oriented towards comms and political support and does not have a lot of experience in actually implementing programmes that have tangible impacts - Culture of overwork, worse than in similar NGOs in the climate sphere in London - Abysmal HR service - Salaries are advertised as non-negotiable but a significant portion of the employees did negotiate them - No salary progression possible outside of promotions
