Flexible working and the pay is good for charity sector

Toxic organisation, terribly run by people who have no idea what they are doing. Bullying culture. Everyone spends their days in meetings talking rubbish with no output.

Macmillan Cancer Support Response

Thanks for sharing your feedback, it’s appreciated. It’s good to hear that flexibility and pay are landing well. At the same time, we take concerns around culture, leadership, and ways of working seriously. We know experiences can vary across teams, and feedback like this highlights where we need to improve, particularly around how teams collaborate, make decisions, and ensure time spent in meetings leads to meaningful outcomes. We’re actively working on this through initiatives like 'NO GAPS', which focus on calling out behaviours that don’t work, strengthening accountability, and creating a more inclusive, supportive environment for everyone. There’s more to do, and feedback like this helps us keep that focus where it matters.

Pros

The journey home and the free tea and coffee

Cons

Waste of donations on management positions, partnerships with any organisation that will donate money including unethical ones. Delusional people who think they are world leaders when all they are is a UK charity
