Pros

Oxfam attracts highly committed and talented staff. The organisation is focused on its mission most of the time, appropriately political, and not overly donor driven. My managers were supportive and trusted my autonomy.

Cons

The senior management when I was there were conflict averse and that led to serious problems. In particular, they didn't balance the impact imperative sufficiently above the institutional imperative all the time. Your experience really depends on your direct boss.
