Pros

Close knit, very hard working team that personally invest in the products. Easy to collaborate with developers and team managers/product owners. Any work/personal issues are easily resolved within the team - really surrounded by great people.

Cons

Higher management does not prioritise testing, so does not invest in it. Not much diversity in work content, as Oxfam is not a technical consultant, technology products are not their focus so there is not a large variety of technical work. Very slow return to office after the pandemic, I wouldn't recommend to anyone that enjoys in office/hybrid work.

Pros

working with people who really care about the work and the mission; mostly remote work

Cons

Oxfam America's senior leadership team has presided over three consecutive years of layoffs with little evidence of accountability or learning at the executive level. Despite repeated rhetoric about fairness and equity, leadership decisions consistently undermine those stated values. New initiatives are rolled out frequently, only to be quietly dropped, creating instability, confusion, and deep skepticism among staff. Directors are routinely excluded from key strategic discussions, yet are expected to deliver decisions to their teams with no meaningful context, rationale, or ability to answer questions. The CEO appears insulated from the day to day realities of the organization, reinforcing a growing disconnect between leadership and staff. As a result, employees are chronically overworked, morale continues to erode, and trust in senior leadership has been significantly damaged by unmet commitments and constantly shifting priorities.
