Great team

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

Loved my boss and she let me fly as high as I wanted to and made sure I always felt I had opportunities to explore all my interests. I felt like I was working on impactful projects and I got to interface with several different teams in different countries and work with them on their projects when they needed an extra hand. Also my boss let the job be as remote or in-person as I wanted.

Cons

The humanitarian sector in general can be very hard to work in since you deal with a lot of issues of human suffering and there's only so much you can do in your role.
