Pros

Are there any? Some people are overpaid, good for them. Remote work.

Cons

Lack of values and huge failure in leadership in management. Laid people off consistently over the past few years. Not a stable or fun place to work. JEDI program is a symbolic joke.

Deeply Lost Leadership, Pay is Terrible, True leaders should AVOID

Campaigner

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

some positions can work remotely, seems random how its structured.

Cons

vision doesnt exist, leadership team seems totally clueless, ineffective management and overall communication, overpaid leadership, underpaid true frontline leaders in junior level jobs have more experience than directors. Very little opportunity to advance. Either lick boots and fake it, or be a true organizer and leave Greenpeace. This review is for Greenpeace USA, the least popular of Greenpeaces. Internationally Greenpeace is weak and has little cohesion. A very confusing and disorganized organization. I was overqualified and underpaid, asked for a raise, wasn't given. So I left and now making $25k more than I was at GP.

Great mission, poorly executed

Team leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Greenpeace attracts talented and smart people who deeply care and want to make change. There are a lot of opportunities to move laterally in the organization between offices and a lot of cool opportunities and types of projects to get involved in, which I doubt you'd get anywhere else.

Cons

The US office is incredibly dysfunctional and has been for decades. It means that The admirable mission doesn't translate into effective impact in the real world. There is a complete disconnect between leadership and staff, both contribute to the problem - lack of transparency, hierachical and bureaucratic from the leadership, and lack of respect, inability to follow agreed organizational goals from junior staff.
