Pros

Great people to work with, interesting and impactful work.

Cons

Senior managers have no care for staff wellbeing despite reported issues and a significant increase in staff turnover in the last 12 months. The overall strategy of the organisation is not communicated to staff. There is a culture of staff not being trusted and management decisions are made based on 'highest paid person's opinion' rather than evidence and accurate information. Senior management have no leadership qualities and the CEO posts some questionable content on her social media channels.

Pros

Great people, who are highly skilled in their field and deserve more respect and recognition. Lovely office location. Good holiday allowance. Serves a good cause.

Cons

Senior leadership is inconsistent, disjointed, disillusioned and weak. Work first not people first. Strategic direction is unclear. People are over worked and fear raising this. Wellbeing and engagement initiatives are tick box exercises and meaningless.
