Pros
Meaningful area of work with real potential for impact. Many colleagues work very hard. Some are doing vital work to keep the organisation together amidst the chaos
Kontras
Fragmented and dysfunctional organisation that has been suffering through a chaotic restructure and endless new strategies since 2019. Weak and often absent leadership whereby strategic decisions are avoided and accountability is non-existent. The Executive Team aren't qualified to perform their roles and lack critical skills and expertise in NGO management. Pervasive mismanagement has most recently culminated in a rapid redundancies process, which has been chaotic, unstrategic and untransparent. It is devastating to see this organisation crippled by the egos of its senior leaders. Systems and processes are dysfunctional at best and most of the time they undermine our work. Un-diverse workforce when you look at any indicator other than gender, with work in Asia, Africa and Latin America led by white men from the global north
