      Pros

      A very worth cause, although CIWF are not the most efficient or effective organisation operating in this space. A vast majority of my colleagues were lovely, passionate, hard working, talented. I had a fantastic manager who shielded me from the many dramas and internal cultural issues.

      Cons

      The Senior Management Team are completely out of touch. There has been something of a mass-exodus in the last year due to poor culture and unhappy team. The workload for many is simply unrealistic. I had colleagues whose managers would regularly schedule meeting outside of their contracted working hours. You don't get TOIL in most teams. The strategic plan doesn't take into account the actual capacity of the team, which in turn undermines CIWF's effectiveness. Policies are not implemented fairly across the organisation. There are no meaningful steps taken to support employee mental health - instead of addressing poor culture, micro-managing, reducing workload, ensuring the strategic plan is realistic considering resources etc, CIWF have just given everyone access to a mental health app. Better than nothing, but not good enough. There are no defined career progression pathways, and the salaries are not competitive.

      Pros

      Very driven team. I don't know someone who doesn't believe in our mission to reform our food system! Very collaborative environment, especially in US Office and across global Food Business team. Supportive US HR department. HR/Ops is always available to hop on a call and try to support. Food Business Leadership is strong and becoming more integrated globally. CIWF works on all species, which is nice to feel like we are impacting all animals - including broiler chickens, pigs, laying hens, and cows. Fish in the future! The vision of a regenerative food system is very strong, especially on the Food Business team. In US, good PTO and time off policy. 403B contribution is decent too. Good work-life balance in USA, but you have to ensure YOU log off and uphold a work-life balance yourself.

      Cons

      Career growth can be limited. Unless someone leaves, promotion is VERY limited, if not impossible. Merit based raises rarely happen. Unless your JD changes somehow, you are not guaranteed a raise. There are occasional global cost of living increases (2%-5%) that happen each year, but it's not guaranteed. Salaries have gotten higher over the years, but still lower overall in US Market. Hopefully leadership addresses this as we continue to grow. Global Leadership Team, including CEO, seems very distant and disconnected from the staff. He does not seem interested in improving personnel issues, company morale, or DEI issues. (He seems more interested in promoting his book tour.) There are a lot of people under him that believe in this and are driving organization change (chomping at the bit to reform!) but it ultimately comes down to GLT & the CEO making the call.
