Could be a lot better - Senior Project Manager Drinkaware Employee Review

Drinkaware is the UK's leading alcohol charity (want to clarify as there is a review on this page clearly from someone who works at a bar/selected wrong company!). The organisation is about moderation (not sobriety) and has a really interesting and important mission to try and get society to a point where we destigmatise conversations about alcohol, in the same way we've seen positively happen with mental health. Karen, the CEO who joined in late 2022 is amazing very friendly with a clear vision. We've recently moved office, which is a bright, beautiful and collaborative space in Morgate (ldn) with hybrid working. People are kind and committed to the mission. Work-life balance is strongly respected, people are people first and I've never felt respect like it. You get a Health & Well-being grant, talks from external speakers, more-than-average leave and more. I feel very supported by my manager and team, and feel I'm making a positive impact in the UK!

Nothing I feel needs flagging.

Overall nice people and office Very talented colleagues Great working hours and remuneration The work that does eventually get out has its heart in the right place and is of good quality

Matters tend to escalate to quite hostile meetings, particularly at senior level Teams work in silos Most senior level tend to micromanage Planning of output is not always aligned with seasonal peaks No real opportunity to be promoted or trained within the org, meaning high turnover
