Pros
The cause is and will always be the biggest pro, what we do is wonderful and important. The people used to be a big part of the organisation, I can honestly say I’ve never worked with such passionate, dedicated, professional, skilled people before joining. This is however slowly shifting. Also Mark is not CEO and has not been for some years.
Cons
Bullying is rife, there have been shifts in the past few years and I have been shocked at what I have seen happen. We expose ourselves as a values led organisation- we are not. What we say and what we do are miles apart. In particular I have heard very senior people say some incredibly harmful things about equalities. And the outright bullying from senior management in some areas has become shocking. We have recently had a restructure, letting over 200 people go, during which time there has been lies, bullying, ignoring rules and laws, disregarding expertise, mocking and belittling. When I found out my job was safe I felt relief but what I have watched unfold here has made me wish I was one of the 200.
