Pros

It is a job...there are probably worse conservation jobs though hard to fathom...

Cons

Highly toxic work environment. Be warned - it is not worth it. You will just be used and abused. If you are looking for a serious work place that treats its staff with respect and integrity this is not the place for you - keep looking. Ask your network before joining, get in touch with someone who has been there before. Trust what they tell you. Organization already has a very high staff turnover with the occasional mass stampede...tells you all you need to know..

Some lovely people but poor senior management and direction

Business outlook

Pros

- Most colleagues are lovely people - Flexibility - 2 days in office a month is not enforced - Lack of funding for projects

Cons

- Senior leadership is stale with no business plan which resulted in a redunancy process being opened - Strategy is pushed down on staff to create rather than being led by the CEO and leadership team - Huge gap between overworked and underworked - Lack of learning from one project to another - Poorly paid junior staff, Masters and PhDs do not get you a good starting salary here - Incredibly poor communication across the organisation, the CEO refuses to use Slack - Moral is very low - High turnover - People generally appear 'ok' in larger settings but speaking one on one most people are unhappy - The orgaisation survives due to the hardworking staff, leadership generally just sit in the top roles and get in the way
