Pros

All is good. Senior management is good. But they should not hire people who are abusive.

Cons

Very bad work ethics. Long hours of work. Other than that all was well. People were helping.

Nordic office is ok, but high burnout and military management style in FR & IT

Business Outlook

Pros

Working in a Global environment. You develop cutting edge skills in many different units. Truly believe the skills you gain in GP Nordic can be applied to any industry. And usually the skills you gain are very advanced.

Cons

It's sucks you in like quicksand. High divorce & separation rate. I see you must protect your personal life on the campaign side. The Nordic Fundraising Managers are harsh, inexperience, and treat employees like children rather than adults. I would not recommend working in Fundraising or IT in Greenpeace Nordic. What organisation combines a Director position wit Fundraising and IT?

Solid Organization with Excellent Mission

Business Outlook

Pros

Passionate workers and dedicated leadership. Pay is good and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

Need to continue to find ways to diversify staff working and leading its development and program areas. Lack of diversity does not allow the organization to maximize its influence in minority communities across the country representing those impacted most by the organization's noble mission and emphasis.
