Pros

Some incredible people work here who are driven and passionate.

Cons

Significant number of management consultants work here which makes it heavily focused on data over people. Whilst this is a charity, it delivers poor value for money per participant as training costs are so high, but fails to deliver life-changing results for the majority of people who apply to its programmes. Really poor benefits packages, support for staff & job satisfaction in comparison to other charities in the education sector.

Pros

An ability to progress your career to a certain point if you put the work in. Some good people, good holiday allowance and nice company cars.

Cons

Too many middle managers, no clear direct report. Daily/weekly/monthly reporting that is a bit over the top. Yearly salary reviews were disappointing.
