Business outlook
Pros
Aims, objectives and aspirations of the organisation are good. A lot of work on the ground is delivered by passionate, committed staff who improve the lives of millions around the world. E.g. teaching, education and society programmes.
Cons
Staff hindered by cumbersome internal processes, micro-management and dreadful IT. Difficult to get things done because of 'working from home' culture and staff sickness. Risk adverse organisation: backward thinking with an unwillingness to improve or change 100s of contractors on double what their colleagues are on. Despite rigorous (and time consuming) performance management, under/over performance never acted upon. Poor pay and limited training budgets.
