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?
