Pros
The time off and benefits are relatively good for the US. Working for an important cause. The best parts of Greenpeace are inspiring. Some autonomy, but that has decreased with recent leadership changes. Flexibility is good.
Cons
Leadership is extremely out of touch, both with employees and with the environmental movement at large. Staff meetings are the managers falling over themselves to pay each other on the back, never mentioning the mass exodus especially by people of color and women. Toxic culture with no accountability. Long term employees stick around, doing the same thing that hasn’t been effective for years, while pushing out people who bring energy and new ideas. Talent isn’t appreciated or nurtured, but rather seen as threatening. They overpromote people but don’t ensure they get much needed management or even job skills. They did mass layoffs of the canvas and then of many long term employees. They replaced some people with unskilled junior hires, but mostly hired fundraisers. The new leadership hires are more of the same big talk, but no actual skills. They say all the right things, but it’s performative. This place is the definition of white supremacy culture (And I am white.) It is a dying organization and people should stop giving them money. It only supports people at the top.
