Pros

Oxfam is one of the best employer for diverse workforce, you get good opportunity to learn about different people from different back ground.

Cons

There is no follow up on the diverse workforce in order to make sure that each individuals are integrated with in the culture of Oxfam. just only recruiting diverse workforce does not mean diversity and inclusiveness is fulfilled.

Hello, thank you for your comments about working at Oxfam. We're pleased you're finding working with Oxfam an amazing experience. We're certainly committed to diversity (within our workforce and also valuing it in the work we do globally). We were recently shortlisted for the National Diversity Awards in the UK and were very proud as this highlighted how important we feel workplace diversity is. Your feedback about lack of follow up is interesting. We have a diversity 'champions' group within each team at Oxfam. I will feed back your comments about integrating diversity within Oxfam's culture. Thank you as well for your continued support of Oxfam. Recruitment Team at Oxfam GB.

Pros

working with people who really care about the work and the mission; mostly remote work

Cons

Oxfam America's senior leadership team has presided over three consecutive years of layoffs with little evidence of accountability or learning at the executive level. Despite repeated rhetoric about fairness and equity, leadership decisions consistently undermine those stated values. New initiatives are rolled out frequently, only to be quietly dropped, creating instability, confusion, and deep skepticism among staff. Directors are routinely excluded from key strategic discussions, yet are expected to deliver decisions to their teams with no meaningful context, rationale, or ability to answer questions. The CEO appears insulated from the day to day realities of the organization, reinforcing a growing disconnect between leadership and staff. As a result, employees are chronically overworked, morale continues to erode, and trust in senior leadership has been significantly damaged by unmet commitments and constantly shifting priorities.
