Pros

Worked with some fantastic colleagues and on rewarding external projects at times.

Cons

Rotten organisational infrastructure. Low pay to workload. Have seen many colleagues go off on stress leave, requests for support and reduced workload ignored. Quantity over quality, not for profit which has become commercially driven - forget the 'not'. Workers hold four or five programmes independently which are sold at 15-20k to organisations and yet the company offers no time in lieu, no ability to roll over leave when impossible to take and statutory maternity leave forcing employees to return early.

Pros

Value-driven work to protect and advance voting rights Respect for personal time Feel genuinely appreciated by supervisors, coworkers, and volunteers

Cons

independent work doesn't always have clear guidelines work is definitely much heavier right before elections so it can feel overwhelming at times to complete all tasks by hard deadlines

Pros

A very impactful organisation that is doing a lot of great things and have influence in a lot of channels and avenues.

Cons

Disorganised and pivots a lot. A lot of the programmes and ideas change as the founder and executive team decide. It's quick to move which is good, but seems very unfocused
