Greenpeace Management Review

Ict assistant manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Greenpeace has an open business culture, easy to use information-sharing platforms and a transparant policy

Cons

Two main types of managers are working at Greenpeace. One's that promote status quo and old management practices and Ones that promote growth and self-fulfillment within their employees. I loved the second group and because of that the first saw me as a potential danger for their positions and fired me.

Pros

The people are very friendly and approachable. There is no seniority complex, and everyone is treated equally.

Cons

The only thing I learnt here was how to deal with rejection. Besides, work involves a lot of traveling if you are in the fund raising department.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work environment, friendly staffers, open doors and working for a great purpose. Located in a great area to boot. Allows for a lot of room for creativity and fun but making sure work gets done and done well. Fair level of accountability as well.

Cons

They are a non-profit so it's not the wealthiest area to work in but it's a known Day 1 and understandable in working towards a great goal.
