      Avoid unless you are really desperate - Anonymous employee Compassion in World Farming Employee Review

      Pros

      Their declared cause is worthy and some people are actually trying to help animals, but regretfully, not the  "global" leadership or the execs.

      Cons

      I see their former employees posting about new jobs on LinkedIn every few weeks and feel that i need to add a word of warning. CIWF was the worst, the pettiest, and the most toxic environment I worked in 25+ years of my professional career in multiple countries and across commercial, non-profit and government sectors. The entire directorship level at HQ are both unqualified and toxic. The leadership and the board could not care less about the staggering turnover rate. With their quite low salaries there are really no reasons to apply for their vacancies. Unless you are really desperate, I really recommend against having anything to do with this org.

      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.
