British Heart Foundation Project Manager Reviews

Pros

I have had great career progression at the British Heart Foundation, having progressed twice since joining 18 months ago. Since starting, I've been empowered and supported to take my career where I want it to go. Where the charity has shortfalls in maturity, the senior management team have a great vision for the organisation, and always look to the experience of its employees to grow. Positive: - Flexible working hours (work from home once per week) - Great cause which the charity keeps you involved - Experience with working with the retail team and volunteers - Lots of training; career progression supported by management - Strong support and focus on the well being of employees (physical or mental)

Cons

- Slow decision making - Immaturity in some areas (which are being worked on) - HR still establishing career paths to fully support development

Pros

nice people to work with. all similar ages.

Cons

senior management really bad. No consequences for employers who do not achieve basic requirements in their role and seniors brush it under the carpet. seniors struggle to handle pressure and there are clear favourites in the company. if you are a favourite, you will get ahead. if not, expect to stay in the same position even if you are good at your job. no clear structure and easy to get away with not doing job properly. no

Pros

Very supportive line management and great induction into the charity. Lots of amazing work is being done, even if it's not communicated effectively across the organisation

Cons

Extremely siloed working, teams don't communicate well, money is wasted on agencies to perform jobs that should just be done in house and lots of denial of responsibility and frozen middle syndrome
