Pros

I’d be lying if I said there were any.

Cons

Toxic work environment, poor leadership with no accountability, terrible salaries (but you’ll be one of ‘the best paid people in the country’ ;) ), zero growth or commitment to staff wellbeing.

Pros

- Genuinely feel like you are making a difference - From early stages you get to interact with very senior stakeholders - Very interesting work, global community - Diverse and international team - Rapid development and lots of responsibility - Very good private medical insurance, ability to get therapy etc quickly and paid for - Travel opportunities - Central London location

Cons

- It is a global organisation with a big reach but in comparison the team is pretty small so there is a lot of responsibility put on everyone - It used to be extremely stressful in the run up to the Summit, it is more balanced now because of the 4 day week - The impacts of Covid-19 were very difficult for OYW because they weren't able to have live events, I think it will resume in the next 6-12 months to come but it was a hard time - The Summit period is stressful and there are a lot of last minute changes which adds extra pressure - A lot of empowered junior staff - they get promoted and given responsibility really quickly which is a good thing but they leave and go on to other jobs to get a bigger salary and title - it's great for the juniors but leads to a lot of talent churn
