Pros

* Coworkers were great while everything worked well.

Cons

* Bullying in order to force out employees was common, usually enacted by management at different levels who were aided by HR. At no fewer than four occasions did I witness a person who just had broken down by how they were treated. At least one had to be taken to a mental ward (and then quietly dropped by Greenpeace Nordic at once afterwards). * Racist remarks by one staffer towards three POC were reported to HR. HR chose to take no action. * Management was deeply misogynistic both at organisation and volunteer level. Esp one Volunteer Coordinator seemed to use the volunteers as a dating pool and kept dating different volunteers, often at the same time. * Organisation Veterans could act with impunity. I was twice threatened by organisation veterans who where never punished for their behavior. * Project Employees were expected to stay on but never got any word about a new contract until their last week. They were then treated as traitors for moving on. * Salaries for organisation veterans were usually above average with some excuse as to why. Salaries for everybody else was below average. Asking for a raise for any reason got at least one person sacked.

Pros

Flexibility and time off benefits

Cons

Very unstable environment. Lots of turnover in higher roles. Will let people go because of financial reasons and expect the remaining employees to combine their role with 3-4 other roles with no additional pay
