Pros

At present there are no reasons. But Oxfam world wide has good brand name because of Oxfam Great Britain but this Oxfam India has lowered its image due to people at higher places.

Cons

There are many. Staff is not satisfied with the organisation, CEO and higher officials. Staff alwasys search jobs on the websites of other employers. There is partiality - the staff who flatters CEO gets favour and the staff who is engaged only in delivering professional duties honestly are harrassed. It is now an organisation with lost charm. Also, the board is not at all active and is there only for name and sake.

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.
