Pros

Flexible working and the pay is good for charity sector

Cons

Toxic organisation, terribly run by people who have no idea what they are doing. Bullying culture. Everyone spends their days in meetings talking rubbish with no output.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, it’s appreciated. It’s good to hear that flexibility and pay are landing well. At the same time, we take concerns around culture, leadership, and ways of working seriously. We know experiences can vary across teams, and feedback like this highlights where we need to improve, particularly around how teams collaborate, make decisions, and ensure time spent in meetings leads to meaningful outcomes. We’re actively working on this through initiatives like 'NO GAPS', which focus on calling out behaviours that don’t work, strengthening accountability, and creating a more inclusive, supportive environment for everyone. There’s more to do, and feedback like this helps us keep that focus where it matters.

Thank you for taking the time to share this. Care is central to who we are at Macmillan, and we work hard to ensure it shows up not just in what we do for people living with cancer, but in how we support and treat one another internally. We’re glad that came through in your experience.
