World Wildlife Fund reviews

New chief exec has absolutely no clue - or care for conservation. She doesn't trust any staff member who's been there for over 2 years. So anyone who's worked their butt off for the cause for years is now being actively ignored. She's surrounded herself by a new exec group - not one of them has a conservation background. Its so hierarchial now you're unable to voice an opinion to anyone higher than your direct line manager. EG seem to have forgotten that their staff are real people with lives and feelings and just treat them like commodities. If you’re thinking of working for WWF-UK then leave it a couple of years until the current chief exec has moved on.

The organisation is very top-down, hierarchical. Senior management does not care about their staff, listen to their opinions, trust that they hired them to do their job and treat them without the respect or dignity they deserve. The board and CEO run the whole organisation and lead the charge in an extremely backward view of conservation. Many of the people the hire include CEO and COO or consultants know nothing about conservation or sustainability and yet boss everyone around like they are running a dictatorship. They are losing valuable, amazing and talented people and they don't care as the treat their jobs like it's a retirement job and it's the last leg of their career. Whereas the people who actually care and want to make real change are being dumbed down, pushed aside and expected to do as asked with no ability to think outside the box what so ever. Forget about career progression unless you are senior management, no promotions at all. The extreme micro-management and approval processes makes a non-profit that is supposed to lead the change absolutely redundant and useless. I have completely lost faith in the integrity and responsibility of the organisation to make systemic change and do its job for the right cause.
