Location, a few good colleagues

Cons

It's hard to imagine a worse employer than GRI. Piss-poor management from top to bottom. GRI is unable to retain top talent because of bad management. The voluntary employee turnover rate is over 50%. Check GRI's annual report. It is publicly available. GRI's salaries are low, no pension, they do not fully cover travel costs, there are no training or career growth opportunities, nothing. A few nice people work there but also a lot of seriously mean and spiteful weirdos. The work environment is toxic. The sick rate is extremely high and many many people are sat home on burnouts or only working part of the week because of stress. And the organization's leaders lack any self-reflection and refuse to see their role in creating an environment where people are desperate to leave or so depressed by the work conditions that it makes them physically and mentally ill. If you value your health avoid this place at all costs.

Pros

Very knowledgeable and friendly colleagues. Overall admirable mission and a big name in the field of sustainability.

Cons

No investment in personal development, inflexible management and hierarchical.

Pros

Great place to grow as a sustainability professional; highly dynamic and international workforce

Cons

Teams tend to work in silos rather than collaborate with each other; therefore often unclear who is working on what.

Pros

Great group of energetic young people Possibility to work from home 2 days/ month Possibility to work part time Team outings

Cons

Horrible hierarchy where nothing can get through Senior management gets all the credit for the company's accomplishments even though 85% of the work is done by interns and assistants No mentorship No training possibilities Low salaries No career progression possibilities No full public transport reimbursement of costs No possibility to challenge the ideas and decisions of senior management
