Pros

Super staff, mission, and vision. I love the team and sense of camaraderie. The work environment is fantastic and the salary/benefits are very good.

Cons

The constant change across the global confederation is wearing out the staff. While Oxfam America is well run, it is in danger of being dragged down by its European colleagues.
