Pros

Tearfund is an excellent organisation to work with! We're the leading UK Christian organisation working with Churches around the world in Humanitarian Response, Poverty Reduction and Advocacy. Genuinely making a difference in the lives of the poor, through using (and developing) good practice. Generally, colleagues are highly competent and professional, and excellent to work with.

Cons

Currently restructuring, which is a good move, but unnecessarily painful for staff affected. Issues around staff accountability and performance not always addressed.

Pros

I worked at Tearfund Côte d’Ivoire for a year as an intern. It was a great place to work and the Christian atmosphere makes the work more meaningful

Cons

There were some long days, especially when preparing for programming

Pros

Meaningful benefits and good results delivered in the field. Caring culture Some incredible people working there who live the values.

Cons

Organisation is very process drive. Their processes dictate their initiatives. Regressive ways of operating and inefficient. Management staff lack experience, Act like nannies. Cross professional boundaries. Over engineer simple initiatives. Not open to other views. CEO not across what other teams are doing apart from the programme work. As a Christian organisation, has difficulty dealing with criticism and harder conversations. Tends to pay lip service to issues and as a result, good people leave.
