The British colonial legacy lives on at WWF Australia

Business Outlook

Pros

A great place to work if you're from the UK. That's about it.

Cons

Anyone not from the UK need not apply. The staff and management are shamelessly chauvinistic toward anyone not British. It's a british-expat import business, basically. If they do hire you, you'll find your English mocked, you'll be passed over for promotions and you'll work on the least important projects. You'll be constantly reminded the you don't measure up on account your weren't born in the UK. Anti-semitism and homophobia are also common. And if you complain to their HR department. They will simply show you the door.

strong but long underperforming organization just nose-dived, now adrift

Business Outlook

Pros

WWF has flexible work hours. Employees are generally smart & hardworking colleagues. It is in a good location and and has strong brand recognition.

Cons

WWF is in bumbling through a massive reorganization and severe layoffs, leaving the organization in self-induced chaos. Staff morale is abysmal. High-performing colleagues who asked difficult questions were almost universally laid off. Many staff who were initially fired have now been invited back, a symptom of deeper flaws within the reorganization process. (Most are declining the 'opportunity' to continue with the organization.) Layoffs preceded strategic planning, so remaining employees are now charged with developing projects and programs without key personnel. Workloads for remaining employees are ridiculous, sometimes dumping 2 and even 3 full-time positions onto a single individual. And now the architects of the reorg are being fired, in a last-ditch effort to salvage things (or perhaps find a scapegoat).
