Pros

I experienced verbal assault and psychological harassment from 2 Senior OXFAM, A blatant injustice in , an organization that advocates for feminist values, human rights and I filed a complaint by contacting the Ethics hotline. However, after long time of investigation, I received a misleading one-page report that does not accurately reflect the severity of the situation. I am deeply disappointed that Oxfam Intermon's Ethics department did not act with fairness, objectivity, and transparency. It is evident that senior members of the organization, who were directly and indirectly involved in this injustice, used their power to distort concrete facts and support the harasser despite his violations and fraudulent practices, in an effort to cover up the matter." "I also refrain from addressing the use of fixed-term contracts (CDD) and their renewals, which are in violation of the law."

Cons

"Oh, absolutely, working at Oxfam is a walk in the park! There are simply no downsides to being surrounded by passionate individuals dedicated to changing the world. The nonexistent cons make each day feel like a vacation in the world of social justice and humanitarian efforts. It's practically a utopia of problem-solving and global impact!"

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.
