Pros
With a few employers to compare against Oxfam is truly a great place to work. With such a huge range of business and programme activties I'm amazed at how it operated together, and how everybody felt they had a stake in the success of the organisation. From top to bottom people were really committed to doing their best for the organisation. That really permeated to the individual. It was an encouraging and inspiring environment to be in, and everybody had the chance to contribute their thoughts. Employee engagement felt high and communication was really string between the departments.
Cons
Pay and reward, as expected, was a bit low and could sometimes be a bit off putting after hard work. As a graduate and in Oxfordshire at their HQ, it was hard to reconcile at the lower end of the pay scale.
