Pros

Save the Children offers deeply meaningful, mission-driven work alongside colleagues who are genuinely committed to impact. I’ve had a very positive experience with my manager, and there are many strong, thoughtful professionals across the organization. More recently, new staff coming in have been high-caliber and bring fresh energy and expertise. There are signs the organization is moving in a more positive direction, and benefits and flexibility are solid for the nonprofit sector.

Cons

There was a major reduction in staffing over the course of a year, carried out in several large phases due to a decline in public funding. This was followed by a number of senior staff departures, which, in combination, affected morale and increased uncertainty across teams. From a staff perspective, the pace and communication around these changes sometimes felt abrupt and not always clearly explained. While change is never easy, the experience was particularly challenging for those navigating ongoing transitions and shifting priorities. At times, there can also be a perception of inconsistency in how personnel decisions are made, which can further impact trust.
