Climate Action reviews about "people"

organisational structure changes quite a lot so was hard to settle into one role - have to be quite independent a lot of the time

The most incompetent Senior Leadership Team I have had to work with in my 7 years of being in the industry. It is actually shocking. I only lasted a couple of month but during my time here I was appalled by the way senior leadership spoke to certain team members. SLT needs serious management training, because treating adults like school kids is not a management style. There is a massive ‘us and them’ culture. They hire young people to pay them so little, manipulate them and overwork them. The only job to ever effect my mental health so negatively.

SLT don’t see the value in training or professional development, it’s very hard to see any progression. Lack of empathy from SLT.

It's events! What I mean by that is it can be incredibly busy. This is a small team (around 12-15 employees), going up with contractors/support staff as we get closer to the event. This has meant that previously, less attention has been paid on developing staff and offering a 'traditional' progression route (like in other industries, or larger organisations). 2026 has marked a shift in attitude with a genuine desire to grow the organisation - hiring senior people to think longer term, including a Head of People and Culture, Senior Marketing, Senior Conference Producer, and more. It will take some time, but the foundations are being put in place. This company would not suit someone who is looking for a company that has it all figured out. My 5* is to emphasise that the work is being put in place to move us forward, and to recognise that the existing Glassdoor score may have been right some time ago, but to reflect that the work is being done and a higher score reflects the work being done. Please note, it's also not a 'made up' score by management - I'm a real person here! If you like a puzzle and this kind of challenge, with this level of opportunity, you'll thrive!
