Pros

Meeting really inspiring conservationists from around the network. They are the ones on the frontline doing the real work and when you listen to their talks, for a moment, you get to feel like you're making a difference

Cons

New chief exec has absolutely no clue - or care for conservation. She doesn't trust any staff member who's been there for over 2 years. So anyone who's worked their butt off for the cause for years is now being actively ignored. She's surrounded herself by a new exec group - not one of them has a conservation background. Its so hierarchial now you're unable to voice an opinion to anyone higher than your direct line manager. EG seem to have forgotten that their staff are real people with lives and feelings and just treat them like commodities. If you’re thinking of working for WWF-UK then leave it a couple of years until the current chief exec has moved on.

Pros

I worked for a long time as a consultant, lots of clients, lots of different companies, lots of personalties, lots of corporate climbing, etc. And eventually turned around one day and decided I wanted a mission I could care about, and a place that was culturally great. Those became my criteria, and WWF has been everything I've wanted. This place is filled with smart and passionate people, and I can go home every night feeling like I'm doing my part to help the world, which overrides much of the daily issues anyone faces in any job. The benefits are outstanding, there is great listening from most quarters of the organization, and the work means something.

Cons

It is a large organization, as such, there is bureaucracy, and a big ship moves slower than a small one. However, positive internal change does happen, and I believe the Senior Management Team wants this to be a great place, and works towards making that happen—it is the best organization I've ever worked for.
