- Not very diverse at the HQ level, particularly if you looking for POCs who don't speak like 'them', meaning POCs who have been born and brought up in countries other than the US/UK. This, for me, is very telling for an organisation of this size and mission, and reveals a lot about their attitude and HR systems.
- Salary scales are average or below average according to the industry standards in UK.
- The offices in UK are of absolute poor standard - not enough meeting rooms or toilets. Absolutely no branding of the building, you could walk past it and not know it is IRC's office. I have seen many smaller charities with way more swanky offices and greater branding of their offices. UK office clearly gets a step-child treatment despite raising substantial proportion of the income and having an over 100 staff base.
- They keep harping on the point about promoting internal dialogue and discussion, but it is a far cry from truly participatory management style. I hope some brave soul gathers courage one day to ask them about their diversity statistics at the HQ level.
