Pros

Flexible working culture and focus on wellbeing. Some genuinely talented people working in the project teams. The charities they work with can be lovely.

Cons

Toxic leadership that makes you want to run a mile, as so many people have this year. The company operates in a clique that promote themselves to maintain the status quo. Good luck if you’re not part of the inner circle. They spent months working on a new strategy that landed in a chaotic way with little hope of success. The company has just about scraped a profit but only because so many people have left, lowering their cost base.

We’re proud of our flexible working culture, our focus on wellbeing, and the incredible work our teams do to support mission-driven organisations. It’s good to hear that you appreciated these aspects of your time here too. However, it’s clear from your review that there were areas where we fell short for you.
