Disillusion and discontent

Anonymous employee

Pros

- Salary sacrificing - Good location - Interesting mission

Cons

A place where the indolent and inefficient are protected by the exec - some employees do very little work at all here. The recent round of redundancies gave exec managers an opportunity to 'cut the fat' but this was seen as rewarding people who had done a bad job. At the same time, the exec firmly opposes performance management, so nothing changes. And good people have now lost their jobs and non-performers sit idly, watching the spectacle. Funding cuts seemed inevitable: even a cursory analysis shows a serious mismatch between the number of people working at NPS and the output of the organisation.

Poor culture

Business outlook

Pros

Good location and multiple perks of working for a not for profit. Generally flexible working conditions. Some nice people work there, but it seems like people stay there because of the perks, not because its a great place to work.

Cons

Poor leadership and lack of direction, which filters through to staff. Very political environment dominated by a few senior members of the executive - very resistant to new ideas and initiatives coming from outside the inner circle. Very little opportunity for mentorship or career growth. Not a company that is well known or respected, so adds nothing to a CV.
