Pros

The organisation tends to attract talent due to the cause and there are a few dedicated staff that remain, myself being one of them (although I am now seriously reconsidering)

Cons

Senior leadership team are routinely bullying and harrassing staff and have embedded an insidious culture of perceived failure and blame. Droves of talented staff have left in the last year due to failings at a senior level to address deep seated problems with the practices and culture impacting staff. Don't believe the positive reviews - these have been written by staff 'under instruction'

Pros

Amazing cause that everyone is behind. Focus on involving young people is woven in all they do. Genuine commitment to AJEDI

Cons

The org is pretty much run by a few people in a few teams - it's their way or everything gets blocked. Seriously lacked compromise or respect for others, despite good intentions and efforts from internal comms / culture teams and lip service from leadership. Seriously poor behaviour is overlooked under the banner of "speaking up". My time at YoungMinds sadly left me broken and with serious impacts on my own mental health.
